What Makes Lake Worth Beach's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Lake Worth Beach, Florida, in Palm Beach County — a diverse and historically significant Palm Beach County city on the Atlantic coast (Lake Worth Beach — renamed from Lake Worth in 2019 — is one of the most diverse cities in Palm Beach County, with significant Haitian-American, Guatemalan-American, and Mexican-American populations), a historic winter resort city on the Lake Worth Lagoon (the Intracoastal Waterway), adjacent to West Palm Beach, and a culturally vibrant Palm Beach County city known for its arts district, casino, and Snook Islands Natural Area — draws its municipal water supply from the Biscayne Aquifer via the City of Lake Worth Beach Water Division. Water hardness in Lake Worth Beach measures 71.5 mg/L — classified as moderately soft.
Lake Worth Beach's moderate softness — exceptionally soft for a Palm Beach County community using the Biscayne Aquifer (raw hardness 200–350 mg/L) — reflects the City of Lake Worth Beach's effective lime softening program. The Biscayne Aquifer at Lake Worth Beach draws from the same highly calcareous Pleistocene Miami Limestone as the rest of Palm Beach County. The City of Lake Worth Beach Water Division applies a comprehensive lime softening program, substantially reducing hardness to the exceptional 71.5 mg/L — one of the best-treated Biscayne Aquifer supplies in Palm Beach County.
With hardness at 71.5 mg/L, Lake Worth Beach residents enjoy very soft water for Palm Beach County. City of Lake Worth 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 Lake Worth Beach Water Division — the Palm Beach County east Florida Atlantic coastal zone (Pleistocene Miami Limestone and Fort Thompson Formation — the highly calcareous Biscayne Aquifer; effective City of Lake Worth Beach lime softening); moderately soft supply at 71.5 mg/L — reflecting effective Biscayne Aquifer lime softening in the Lake Worth Beach distribution zone.
