What Makes West Haven's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
West Haven, Utah, in Weber County — a Weber County city adjacent to Roy and Ogden in the northern Wasatch Front — receives its water from the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, drawing from the Weber River and Pineview Reservoir through the north-central Utah distribution.
The hard 151.5 mg/L hardness and TDS of 312.1 mg/L reflect the Weber County Weber River supply's hard calcareous character — the Mississippian Madison Limestone is a prominent calcareous formation throughout the Wasatch and Uinta Mountain watersheds of northern Utah, contributing significant dissolved calcium (compare Roy UT: 148/306 in Weber County comparable; Ogden UT: 154/318 in Weber County comparable; West Haven consistent hard from the same Weber County Weber River Mississippian-Ordovician calcareous supply). The Weber River at Weber County — Mississippian Madison Limestone (highly calcareous — primary hardness contributor), Ordovician Swan Peak Formation (slightly calcareous — secondary contributor), and Quaternary Weber alluvium (calcareous — TDS contributor).
At 151.5 mg/L with TDS 312, West Haven's water is hard — scale builds in appliances and fixtures over months. Quarterly descaling is appropriate. The PFAS level of 2.0 ppt is low — an excellent result. Review the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District's annual water quality report for the latest data.
Geology & Source: West Haven in Weber County draws from the Weber Basin Water on the Weber River (Weber County, north-central Utah) — the Weber River at Weber County drains Mississippian Madison Limestone (highly calcareous) and Ordovician Swan Peak Formation (slightly calcareous) — Utah Weber County Weber River Mississippian-Ordovician calcareous supply produces hard water at 151.5 mg/L with TDS 312.1 mg/L.
