What Makes Lindon's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Lindon, Utah, in Utah County — a Utah County city adjacent to Pleasant Grove and Orem on the Wasatch Front — receives its water from the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, drawing from the Provo River and local wells through the north-central Utah distribution.
The very hard 205.5 mg/L hardness and TDS of 474.3 mg/L reflect the Utah County Wasatch Front supply's very hard calcareous character — the Cambrian Tintic Formation and Devonian Beirdneau Formation are calcareous formations in the Wasatch Range, and Utah Valley groundwater concentrates dissolved minerals from the ancient Lake Bonneville lakebed sediments in the Cache Valley basin (compare Pleasant Grove UT: 201/463 in Utah County comparable; Orem UT: 209/485 in Utah County comparable; Lindon consistent very hard from the same Utah County Provo River Wasatch Front calcareous supply). The Wasatch Front supply — Cambrian Tintic Formation (calcareous — primary hardness contributor), Devonian Beirdneau Formation (highly calcareous — secondary contributor), and Quaternary Utah Valley Lake Bonneville sediment (calcareous — TDS contributor).
At 205.5 mg/L with TDS 474, Lindon's water is very hard — a water softener is strongly recommended to protect plumbing and appliances. The PFAS level of 2.6 ppt is very low — an excellent result for the Wasatch Front. Review Central Utah Water's annual water quality report.
Geology & Source: Lindon in Utah County draws from the Central Utah Water on the Provo River supply (Utah County, north-central Utah) — the Wasatch Front supply at Utah County draws from Cambrian Tintic Formation (calcareous) and Devonian Beirdneau Formation (highly calcareous) — Utah Utah County Provo River Wasatch Front calcareous supply produces very hard water at 205.5 mg/L with TDS 474.3 mg/L.
