What Makes Kaysville's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Kaysville, Utah, in Davis County — a major north Utah Davis County suburban community (Kaysville is a significant Davis County city — a north Utah suburban community in the Wasatch Front corridor between Layton and Bountiful; Kaysville is one of the most desirable residential communities in Davis County, known for its tree-lined streets, historic downtown, and family-friendly residential character; Kaysville's fruit orchards (peaches and cherries) were historically among the most productive in the Wasatch Front agricultural belt), a diverse Davis County community with a primarily Latter-day Saint, professional, and suburban family population, adjacent to Fruit Heights and Layton in the north Davis County corridor, home of the Kaysville Community Heritage Center (preserving the area's rich pioneer and agricultural history), and a community with significant suburban residential development along the I-15 Wasatch Front — draws its municipal water supply via the Davis County Water Authority and Kaysville City. Water hardness in Kaysville measures 147.5 mg/L — classified as moderately hard.
Kaysville's moderate hardness reflects the Davis County Great Basin closed-basin calcareous geology with effective treatment. The Weber River and local wells supply draws from Quaternary Lake Bonneville lacustrine deposits (calcareous) and Paleozoic Wasatch Range limestone (calcareous). Davis County Water Authority treatment produces the moderate 147.5 mg/L.
At 147.5 mg/L, Kaysville residents encounter moderate scale accumulation. Monthly cleaning is recommended. Davis County Water Authority consistently delivers water meeting all Utah DEQ and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.
Geology & Source: Mixed supply from the Weber River and local wells via the Davis County Water Authority and Kaysville City — the Davis County north Utah Wasatch Front Kaysville corridor (Quaternary calcareous Lake Bonneville deposits and Paleozoic calcareous Wasatch limestone — the calcareous Great Basin closed-basin Davis County corridor; limited softening); moderately hard supply at 147.5 mg/L in Davis County.
