Can You Drink Tap Water in Flower Mound?
Yes, Flower Mound's tap water is generally considered safe to drink as Flower Mound has no active health based violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) that we are aware of. Other factors such as lead piping in a home, or low levels of pollutants on immunocompromised individuals, should also be considered, however. To find more recent info we might have, you can check out our boil water notice page or the city's water provider website.
According the EPA’s ECHO database, from April 30, 2019 to June 30, 2022, Flower Mound's water utility, Town of Flower Mound, had 2 non-health-based violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act. For more details on the violations, please see our violation history section below. The last violation for Flower Mound was resolved on Dec. 31, 2020. This assessment is based on the Town of Flower Mound water system, other water systems in the city may have different results.
While tap water that meets the EPA health guidelines generally won’t make you sick to your stomach, it can still contain regulated and unregulated contaminants present in trace amounts that could potentially cause health issues over the long-run. These trace contaminants may also impact immunocompromised and vulnerable individuals.
The EPA is reviewing if it’s current regulations around pollutant levels in tap water are strict enough, and the health dangers posed by unregulated pollutants, like PFAS.
Water Quality Report for Flower Mound Tap Water
The most recent publicly available numbers for measured contaminant levels in Flower Mound tap water are in its 2020 Water Quality Report. As you can see, there are levels which the EPA considers to be acceptable, but being below the maximum allowable level doesn’t necessarily mean the water is healthy.
Lead in tap water, for example, is currently allowed at up to 15ppb by the EPA, but it has set the ideal goal for lead at zero. This highlights how meeting EPA standards doesn’t necessarily mean local tap water is healthy.
EPA regulations continue to change as it evaluates the long term impacts of chemicals and updates drinking water acceptable levels. The rules around arsenic, as well as, lead and copper are currently being re-evaluated.
There are also a number of "emerging" contaminants that are not currently. For example, PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), for which the EPA has issued a health advisory. PFAS are called "forever chemicals" since they tend not to break down in the environment or the human body and can accumulate over time.
We recommend looking at the contaminants present in Flower Mound's water quality reports, or getting your home's tap water tested to see if you should be filtering your water.

Is there Lead in Flower Mound Water?
Based on the EPA’s ECHO Database, 90% of the samples taken from the Flower Mound water system, Town of Flower Mound, between sample start date and sample end date, were at or below, 0.0027 mg/L of lead in Flower Mound water. This is 18.0% of the 0.015 mg/L action level. This means 10% of the samples taken from Flower Mound contained more lead.
While Flower Mound water testing may have found 0.0027 mg/L of lead in its water, that does not mean your water source has the same amount. The amount of lead in water in a city can vary greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood, or even building to building. Many buildings, particularly older ones, have lead pipes or service lines which can be a source of contamination. To find out if your home has lead, we recommend getting you water tested.
No amount of lead in water is healthy, only less dangerous. As lead accumulates in our bodies over time, even exposure to relatively small amounts can have negative health effects. For more information, please check out our Lead FAQ page.
Are there PFAS in Flower Mound Tap Water?
Currently, testing tap water for PFAS isn’t mandated on a national level. We do have a list of military bases where there have been suspected or confirmed leaks. There appears to be at least one military base - Dallas NAS - near Flower Mound with suspected leaks.
With many potential sources of PFAS in tap water across the US, the best information we currently have about which cities have PFAS in their water is this ewg map, which you can check to see if Flower Mound has been evaluated for yet.
Our stance is better safe than sorry, and that it makes sense to try to purify the tap water just in case.

Letter from Mayor
STEVE DIXON
2020 was a year like no other. As mayor, I never expected to be faced with the difficulties of making decisions for a community during a global pandemic. In March, Town facilities temporarily closed, including everything from Town Hall to park playgrounds. In order to comply with State and local mandates, I signed several disaster declarations and the Town took to Zoom to stream meetings and virtual programming. Perhaps the most disappointing was having to make the decision to cancel many of our special events, including Independence Fest, in order to put the health and safety of the community first.
Flower Mound has much to be thankful for, even in 2020. Our sales tax numbers remained steady in comparison to 2019 and the Town’s AAA bond rating was reaffirmed from both Fitch and Standard & Poor’s. Residents continue to get a great bargain for their monthly tax bill of around $150, which pays for a

TOWN RESPONSE TO COVID-19
2020 was a year filled with unprecedented challenges. In March, Town offices and facilities temporarily closed to the public to minimize the spread of the virus. Multiple disaster declarations were signed to align with State of Texas mandates, playgrounds temporarily closed, special events were postponed or canceled, and the Town took to Zoom to stream meetings and programs. 2020 may have been a year apart but in 2021, we hope to come together again.
FACTS
-
In August, 209 Flower Mound businesses were awarded $5.8 million through Phase II of the Denton County Open for Business Grants. The program provided grants to Denton County businesses (with fewer than 100 employees) that experienced a loss in revenue due to the pandemic. Phase II also contained $1,180,000 of the Town’s allocated CARES relief funds specifically dedicated to Flower Mound businesses. This amount was the portion of the CARES Act funding that exceeded the Town’s expenses related to
COVID-19 that were eligible for reimbursement.
- With social distancing guidelines and safety measures in place, the Town was able to host a few special events, including the Veterans Relay Run, Dorothy’s Dash 5K and Kid’s K, and Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.
-
The Town created a Restaurant Directory, featuring every restaurant located in Flower Mound. The list
(www.flower-mound.com/restaurants) includes a phone number, website, Facebook page, and business address.
