What Makes Dania Beach's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Dania Beach, Florida, in Broward County — a major south Broward County coastal community (Dania Beach is a significant Broward County city on the Atlantic Ocean — one of Broward's oldest incorporated cities, adjacent to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport; Dania Beach is known as the 'Antique Capital of the South' (the area around Federal Highway in Dania Beach has one of the largest concentrations of antique dealers and auction houses in the southeastern United States)), home of the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum (the International Game Fish Association's museum dedicated to sport fishing in Dania Beach), a diverse Broward County community with a significant Haitian-American, African-American, and working-class population, adjacent to Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale, and a community with a significant gaming and entertainment presence (Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is adjacent to Dania Beach) — draws its municipal water supply from the Biscayne Aquifer via the City of Dania Beach Water Division. Water hardness in Dania Beach measures 240 mg/L — classified as very hard.
Dania Beach's very hard supply reflects the southeast Florida Biscayne Aquifer's extremely calcareous oolitic limestone geology. The Biscayne Aquifer at Dania Beach–Broward County draws from the Pleistocene Miami Limestone and Fort Thompson Formation (extremely calcareous oolitic marine carbonate). City of Dania Beach applies limited softening, producing the very hard 240 mg/L.
At 240 mg/L, Dania Beach residents face significant hard water challenges. Regular water softeners and descaling are strongly recommended. City of Dania Beach Water Division consistently delivers water meeting all Florida DEP and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.
Geology & Source: Groundwater from the Biscayne Aquifer (Pleistocene Miami Limestone) via the City of Dania Beach Water Division — the Broward County southeast Florida coastal Dania Beach corridor (Pleistocene calcareous Miami Limestone and Fort Thompson Formation — the extremely calcareous southeast Florida Biscayne Aquifer carbonate; limited softening); very hard supply at 240 mg/L in Broward County.
