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

The water provided by the City of Rowlett complies with federal health-based drinking water standards, but according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), Rowlett’s tap water has been found to contain several contaminants such as bromochloroacetic acid, chloroform, nitrates, and haloacetic acids, which are byproducts of disinfection and agricultural runoff. These substances have been linked to potential health risks such as cancer and developmental issues. Additionally, concerns have been raised about PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” which have been associated with serious health effects and remain in water sources for extended periods.

The most recent Rowlett Water Quality Report showed an average hardness of 300 ppm, which is considered very hard.

Recent sampling conducted at Rowlett’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.

Yes, Rowlett adds fluoride to its water supply to help prevent tooth decay. The most recent water quality report showed the highest level detected at 0.968 parts-per-million and the average range between 0.537 and 0.968 parts-per-million. The maximum contaminant level is 4 ppm.

Rowlett, Texas, sources its water from the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD), which obtains its supply from several reservoirs, including Lavon Lake, Lake Texoma, and Lake Tawakoni. The NTMWD treats and distributes the water to Rowlett and other communities in the region. The water is carefully monitored and treated to meet federal and state water quality standards.

With an average hardness of 300 ppm, which is considered very hard, it is advised for your home to have a water softener to save on appliance costs, better your clothing, improve your hair and skin, and other benefits. Learn more here.

Rowlett, Texas water contains levels of nitrates, radium and other radioactive contamination, as well as HAA5, TTHMs and other disinfectant byproducts from chlorine or chloramine treatment. While none of these are typically above the EPA maximum contaminant level, they could be harmful.
