What Makes Eagle Mountain's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Eagle Mountain, Utah, in Utah County — a major rapidly growing far west Wasatch Front suburban community (Eagle Mountain is a significant Utah County city — one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States over the past two decades; Eagle Mountain was a small rural community until the late 1990s, when it began explosive suburban growth as housing demand in Utah County (driven by the Silicon Slopes tech economy) pushed development westward beyond the established I-15 corridor communities; Eagle Mountain's dramatic growth is a direct result of Utah County's technology economy (Silicon Slopes — the concentration of major tech companies including Adobe, Qualtrics, Domo, and many others in the Utah Valley; Eagle Mountain's affordability relative to Provo–Orem has made it one of the most sought-after destinations for young LDS families and tech workers)), a diverse Utah County community with a primarily LDS Church-affiliated, young family, and technology professional population, adjacent to Saratoga Springs in the far west Utah County Wasatch Front corridor — draws its municipal water supply via the Eagle Mountain City Water Division. Water hardness in Eagle Mountain measures 163.5 mg/L — classified as hard.
Eagle Mountain's hard supply reflects the far west Utah County closed-basin evaporite aquifer's calcareous character. The Jordan Valley Aquifer draws from Quaternary calcareous Lake Bonneville lacustrine (calcareous). Eagle Mountain City applies limited softening, producing the hard 163.5 mg/L.
At 163.5 mg/L, Eagle Mountain residents face regular hard water challenges. Monthly descaling and water softeners are recommended. Eagle Mountain City Water Division consistently delivers water meeting all Utah DEQ and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.
Geology & Source: Groundwater from the Jordan Valley Aquifer via the Eagle Mountain City Water Division — the Utah County far west Wasatch Front Eagle Mountain corridor (Quaternary calcareous Lake Bonneville lacustrine — the extremely calcareous far west Utah County closed-basin evaporite aquifer; limited softening); hard supply at 163.5 mg/L in Utah County.
