What Makes Weatherford's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Weatherford, Texas, the Parker County seat — a major north Texas Fort Worth suburban city (Weatherford is the Parker County seat — the 'Peach Capital of Texas'; Weatherford is situated in the Cross Timbers and Palo Pinto county corridor west of Fort Worth; Weatherford has grown significantly as a Fort Worth–Dallas metro area exurban community and is one of the most rapidly growing Parker County cities as the DFW suburban belt expands westward; Weatherford is famous for its Chandor Gardens (one of the most beautiful historic gardens in Texas — the private estate of portrait painter Douglas Chandor, designed and built from 1936 to 1950 on 3.5 acres)), home of the Weatherford College (the oldest community college in Texas — established in 1869 as a state-aided school), a diverse Parker County community with a primarily working-class and suburban ranch family population — draws its municipal water supply via the City of Weatherford Water Division. Water hardness in Weatherford measures 209 mg/L — classified as hard.
Weatherford's hard supply reflects the north Texas Parker County Palo Pinto limestone karst's calcareous character. The Lake Weatherford watershed drains the Cretaceous Palo Pinto Limestone (calcareous karst). City of Weatherford applies limited softening, producing the hard 209 mg/L.
At 209 mg/L, Weatherford residents face regular hard water challenges. Monthly descaling and water softeners are recommended. City of Weatherford Water Division consistently delivers water meeting all Texas TCEQ and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.
