What Makes Centerville's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Centerville, Utah, in Davis County — a Davis County city adjacent to Bountiful and Farmington at the base of the Wasatch Range in north Utah, directly below the Bonneville Shoreline — receives its municipal water from Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company and Centerville City Water, drawing from the Weber River at Pineview Reservoir and local Wasatch foothill groundwater wells.
The very hard 236 mg/L hardness and elevated TDS of 597.7 mg/L reflect the Davis County Wasatch-Great Basin mixed supply character. The Weber River at Pineview drains the Wasatch Range — Triassic Ankareh Formation dolomite (highly calcareous), Permian Phosphoria Formation (calcareous phosphatic shale — high TDS source), and Pennsylvanian Oquirrh Group limestone. The Davis County valley groundwater also contacts Pleistocene Lake Bonneville evaporite deposits (residual Great Salt Lake basin minerals — high TDS contributor), elevating the TDS significantly above the Wasatch carbonate contribution alone.
At 236 mg/L, Centerville's water is very hard. A water softener is strongly recommended. Scale builds rapidly on heating surfaces and appliances, and water heaters require annual descaling without softening. The PFAS level of 3.2 ppt warrants a certified drinking water filter — Hill Air Force Base (Davis County — the dominant Utah PFAS source, one of the largest AFFF-contaminated military sites in the USA, directly in the Davis County Weber River watershed) contributes to Centerville's elevated PFAS despite relatively clean source water.
Geology & Source: Centerville in Davis County draws from Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company on the Weber River and local wells (Davis County, north Utah) — the Weber River drains the Wasatch Range (Triassic Ankareh Formation dolomite, Permian Phosphoria calcareous) mixed with Great Basin valley fill — Utah Davis County Wasatch-Great Basin mixed supply produces very hard water at 236 mg/L with TDS 597.7 mg/L in this Davis County Utah city.
