Plano, Texas' Home for Water Softeners, Water Filters,
& Water Delivery

The water provided by the City of Plano complies with federal health-based drinking water standards, but according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), Plano’s tap water has been found to contain several contaminants, including arsenic, atrazine, bromate, and chromium-6. Additionally, elevated levels of bromochloroacetic acid have been detected, raising concerns about potential long-term health risks. A recent sewage spill in Plano also raised questions about contamination in local water sources.

The most recent Plano Water Quality Report showed an average hardness of 250 ppm, which is considered very hard.

Recent sampling conducted at Plano’s water treatment plants detected the presence of PFAS chemicals. The EPA is in the process of setting new MCL (maximum contaminant levels), which range from 4 to 10 parts per trillion. In numbers, that would be 0.00000000004 for PFOA and PFOS, individually to 0.0000000001 for PFNA, PFHxS, and HFPO-DA (GenX Chemicals). As you can see in the water quality report, many samples do not meet these standards. Click here to learn more about our whole house PFAS filtration systems.
