Burleson Water Hardness & Quality Report (2026)

Burleson, Texas, in Johnson County south of Fort Worth — a rapidly growing Fort Worth south suburban community on the border of Johnson and Tarrant Counties, one of the fastest-growing cities in the DFW metroplex, a diverse south DFW community adjacent to the Fort Worth south industrial and distribution corridor — draws its municipal water supply from the Brazos River via the Brazos River Authority (BRA) and the City of Burleson Water Division. Water hardness in Burleson measures 82 mg/L — classified as moderately soft.

Burleson's moderate softness — considerably softer than Keller (376.5 mg/L) or most north Tarrant County communities — reflects the Brazos River watershed treatment characteristics in the south Fort Worth Burleson zone. The Brazos River above Lake Granbury drains from the Texas Rolling Plains and Cross Timbers terrain (moderately calcareous Cretaceous terrain, less concentrated than the pure Austin Chalk zones). The City of Burleson's water treatment facility applies effective lime softening and coagulation, substantially reducing the Brazos River's inherent hardness to the moderate 82 mg/L delivered at Burleson household taps — among the softest DFW community supplies.

With hardness at 82 mg/L, Burleson residents enjoy moderately soft water. City of Burleson Water Division consistently delivers water meeting all Texas TCEQ and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.
