What Makes Westfield's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Westfield, Indiana, in Hamilton County — a major north Indianapolis suburban community (Westfield is one of the fastest-growing cities in Indiana — a major Hamilton County bedroom community in the booming Indianapolis north suburban corridor), home of Grand Park Sports Campus (one of the largest youth sports campuses in the United States — Grand Park hosts hundreds of tournaments annually and was a catalyst for Westfield's explosive population growth), a rapidly expanding community with significant technology and healthcare employment growth in the Hamilton County Fishers–Carmel–Westfield corridor, and a diverse Hamilton County community — draws its municipal water supply from the Hamilton County aquifer wells and Indianapolis water supply connections via the City of Westfield Water Division. Water hardness in Westfield measures 142.5 mg/L — classified as moderately hard.
Westfield's moderate hardness reflects the Hamilton County north Indianapolis Paleozoic carbonate aquifer geology. The Hamilton County aquifer draws from: the Silurian–Devonian Salina Dolomite (calcareous dolomite of the Indiana Paleozoic carbonate platform); the Devonian Muscatatuck Group limestone (calcareous marine limestone); and the Wisconsin Age Tipton Till Plain calcareous glacial till (highly calcareous glacial deposits from the Lake Michigan lobe). City of Westfield treatment and Indianapolis supply connections produce the moderate 142.5 mg/L.
At 142.5 mg/L, Westfield residents encounter moderate scale accumulation. Monthly cleaning with citric acid solution is recommended. City of Westfield Water Division consistently delivers water meeting all Indiana DEM and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.
Geology & Source: Groundwater from the Upper Carbonate Aquifer (Silurian–Devonian Salina Dolomite) and Indianapolis municipal supply via the City of Westfield Water Division (Hamilton County) — the Hamilton County north Indianapolis suburban corridor (Silurian–Devonian calcareous dolomite and limestone of the Indiana Paleozoic carbonate platform; Wisconsin Age calcareous Tipton Till Plain glacial deposits); moderately hard supply at 142.5 mg/L in Hamilton County.
