What Makes Warr Acres's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Warr Acres, Oklahoma, in Oklahoma County — an Oklahoma County city adjacent to Bethany and Yukon in the northwest Oklahoma City suburbs — receives its water from the Oklahoma City Water Utilities, drawing from the Hefner, Overholser, and Stanley Draper reservoirs through the central Oklahoma distribution.
The very hard 206 mg/L hardness and TDS of 412.2 mg/L reflect the Oklahoma County supply's very hard Permian character — the Permian Rush Springs Formation and Pennsylvanian Ada Formation are calcareous sedimentary formations in the south-central Oklahoma Red Bed Plains, and the OKC reservoir system concentrates dissolved mineral content from the central Oklahoma limestone-red bed corridor (compare Bethany OK: 202/403 in Oklahoma County comparable; Yukon OK: 209/421 in Canadian County comparable; Warr Acres consistent very hard from the same Oklahoma County OKC reservoir Permian calcareous supply). The OKC watershed — Permian Rush Springs Formation (calcareous — primary hardness contributor), Pennsylvanian Ada Formation (calcareous — secondary contributor), and Quaternary Oklahoma City alluvium (calcareous — TDS contributor).
At 206 mg/L with TDS 412, Warr Acres' water is very hard — a water softener is strongly recommended to protect plumbing and appliances. The PFAS level of 4.2 ppt is moderate — a certified drinking water filter provides added protection. Review Oklahoma City Water Utilities' annual water quality report.
