What Makes Haysville's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Haysville, Kansas, in Sedgwick County — a Sedgwick County city adjacent to Derby and Wichita on the south Wichita metro area — receives its water from the City of Haysville Water Department or Wichita Water, drawing from the Equus Beds Aquifer through the south-central Kansas distribution.
The hard 176.5 mg/L hardness and TDS of 423.7 mg/L reflect the Sedgwick County Equus Beds Aquifer supply's hard calcareous character — the Quaternary Arkansas River alluvium and Pleistocene McPherson Formation are calcareous formations in the south-central Kansas plains, and the Equus Beds groundwater acquires dissolved mineral content from its calcareous and evaporite-bearing geological setting (compare Derby KS: 173/415 in Sedgwick County comparable; Wichita KS: 179/432 in Sedgwick County comparable; Haysville consistent hard from the same Sedgwick County Equus Beds Aquifer Quaternary calcareous supply). The Equus Beds Aquifer — Quaternary Arkansas River alluvium (calcareous — primary hardness contributor), Pleistocene McPherson Formation (calcareous — secondary contributor), and Quaternary High Plains alluvium (calcareous — TDS contributor).
At 176.5 mg/L with TDS 424, Haysville's water is hard — scale builds in appliances. Quarterly descaling is appropriate. The PFAS level of 2.9 ppt is low — a clean result for south-central Kansas. Review the City of Haysville's annual water quality report.
Geology & Source: Haysville in Sedgwick County draws from the Haysville City Water on the Equus Beds Aquifer (Sedgwick County, south-central Kansas) — the Kansas Equus Beds at Sedgwick County draw from Quaternary Arkansas River alluvium (calcareous) and Pleistocene McPherson Formation (calcareous) — Kansas Sedgwick County Equus Beds Aquifer Quaternary calcareous supply produces hard water at 176.5 mg/L with TDS 423.7 mg/L.
