What Makes Woods Cross's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Woods Cross, Utah, in Davis County — a Davis County city adjacent to Bountiful and North Salt Lake on the Wasatch Front in north Utah — receives its water from the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District or North Davis County Water District, drawing from Causey Reservoir and East Canyon Reservoir blend through the north Utah distribution.
The hard 201.5 mg/L hardness and TDS of 469.1 mg/L reflect the Davis County Wasatch Front supply's hard character — the Precambrian Farmington Canyon Complex is highly insoluble, but Triassic Ankareh Formation calcareous siltstone and Permian evaporite formations in the Great Basin contribute significant dissolved mineral content, and the Salt Lake Valley groundwater blending adds additional mineralization (compare Bountiful UT: 197/458 in Davis County comparable; North Salt Lake UT: 205/478 in Davis County comparable; Woods Cross consistent hard from the same Davis County Weber Basin Wasatch Front Precambrian supply). The Weber Basin watershed — Precambrian Farmington Canyon Complex (insoluble — primary dilutant), Triassic Ankareh Formation (slightly calcareous — primary hardness contributor), and Quaternary Great Basin alluvium (calcareous — TDS contributor).
At 201.5 mg/L with TDS 469, Woods Cross' water is hard — scale builds in appliances. Quarterly descaling is appropriate. The PFAS level of 2.7 ppt is low — a clean result for northern Utah. Review the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District's annual water quality report.
