Spring water has become increasingly popular across North Texas, especially among Dallas homeowners looking to avoid the taste and potential disinfection byproducts found in municipal tap water. Whether you’re stocking up during a hot Texas summer or simply want a more consistent source of cleaner drinking water, spring water offers a natural, mineral-rich alternative.

While Dallas is known for its modern water infrastructure, the region also has a long history of spring-fed sources and artesian wells that once served early settlers in the Trinity River Basin. For many, spring water represents both purity and a return to the natural water profiles that predate today’s complex municipal supplies.

But is spring water truly better than what flows from your faucet? Here’s what Dallas residents should know.

Spring water originates from underground aquifers and rises to the surface naturally under pressure. It’s collected directly from the springhead or through artesian wells, retaining natural minerals such as calcium and magnesium that give it a crisp taste and potential health benefits.

Most bottled and delivered spring water available in North Texas is sourced from protected aquifers in the Ozarks and Ouachita Mountains or nearby regional springs, then filtered and bottled for consumer use. Though urban expansion has limited local natural springs, many Dallas-area households still prefer spring water for its taste, mineral balance, and lack of chemical additives.

According to the 2024 Dallas Water Utilities Water Quality Report, the city’s tap water comes primarily from Lake Ray Hubbard, Lake Lewisville, Lake Grapevine, and the Elm Fork Trinity River. This surface-water supply travels hundreds of miles through reservoirs, pipelines, and treatment plants before reaching homes across the DFW area.

Dallas treats its water with chloramine (a mix of chlorine + ammonia) to disinfect against bacteria and viruses. While this process keeps water microbiologically safe, it can also produce disinfection byproducts like Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) and Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs), compounds the Environmental Working Group (EWG) recommends keeping as low as possible.

EWG data and Dallas’s own report also list trace amounts of:

All remain within EPA legal limits, but some exceed the EWG’s stricter health-based guidelines, especially with long-term exposure. For families with young children, expecting mothers, or those with sensitivities, spring water or an advanced home filtration system can offer additional peace of mind.

For many in the Metroplex, choosing spring water isn’t just about safety, it’s also about taste, convenience, and trust in the source.
