White Settlement Water Hardness & Quality Report (2026)

The City of White Settlement Water Utility (PWS# TX2200081), located at 214 Meadow Park Drive, White Settlement, Texas, serves approximately 15,870 residents in Tarrant County, a Fort Worth suburb. The utility purchases all finished drinking water from the City of Fort Worth, which sources it from surface water reservoirs including Lake Worth, Eagle Mountain Lake, and Cedar Creek Lake within the Trinity River Basin. There are no local treatment plants; water arrives pre-treated via Fort Worth's advanced facilities. Contact the utility at 817-246-4971 or mball@wstx.us for inquiries.

The supply draws from the Trinity River Watershed, spanning North Texas and influenced by Cretaceous sedimentary formations including the Trinity Group limestones and sands, and rock layers such as the Glen Rose and Paluxy Formations. These carbonate-rich strata dissolve alkaline earth minerals — calcium and magnesium — into the water as it flows through limestone aquifers and contacts sedimentary rock. The region's karst topography and prolonged contact with Lower Cretaceous carbonate bedrock during reservoir recharge further intensify the supply's mineral content, resulting in a hard supply prone to scale accumulation.

Moderately hard water in White Settlement promotes limescale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and dishwashers, reducing efficiency and lifespan over time. Faucets and showerheads may clog, while laundry and skin feel less soft without treatment. Regular vinegar descaling, installing low-flow aerators, and flushing water heaters biannually help manage effects; a water softener is recommended for households with scale issues. The 2022 Consumer Confidence Report shows no monitoring or reporting violations, with the system holding Superior Public Water System designation from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality; treatment includes coagulation, filtration, disinfection, and chloramination.
