What Makes Hallandale Beach's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Hallandale Beach, Florida, in Broward County on the Miami-Dade County border — a coastal South Florida community on the Atlantic Ocean, home of Gulfstream Park (one of Florida's most famous thoroughbred horse racing venues and entertainment complex), a diverse South Florida community with significant Jewish-American, Haitian-American, and Caribbean-American populations, and a major south Broward County coastal community directly north of Miami-Dade County — draws its municipal water supply from the Biscayne Aquifer via the City of Hallandale Beach Water Division. Water hardness in Hallandale Beach measures 236.5 mg/L — classified as very hard.
Hallandale Beach's very hard supply reflects the south Broward County Biscayne Aquifer's extremely calcareous limestone geology with limited treatment. The Biscayne Aquifer at Hallandale Beach is hosted in: the Pleistocene Miami Limestone (nearly pure marine oolitic limestone — one of the most calcareous aquifer formations in the United States, with calcium carbonate content of 95%+); and the Fort Thompson Formation (calcareous limestone and marl). The City of Hallandale Beach applies limited lime softening, producing the very hard 236.5 mg/L.
At 236.5 mg/L, Hallandale Beach residents face severe hard water challenges. Weekly descaling and appliance protection measures are strongly recommended. City of Hallandale Beach Water Division consistently delivers water meeting all Florida DEP and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.
Geology & Source: Groundwater from the Biscayne Aquifer (surficial limestone aquifer) via the City of Hallandale Beach Water Division — the Broward County south Florida coastal barrier (Pleistocene Miami Limestone and Fort Thompson Formation — the highly calcareous Biscayne Aquifer limestone; limited lime softening in the Hallandale Beach system); very hard supply at 236.5 mg/L — reflecting south Broward County's Biscayne Aquifer raw supply with limited softening.
