FAQ
Additional Information On Woodcreek, TX Tap Water
Is Woodcreek, TX tap water safe to drink?
Yes, Woodcreek’s tap water meets state and federal drinking water standards. That said, municipal water can still contain disinfectants, byproducts, and trace contaminants that some homeowners would rather reduce at the tap. That is why many households still choose home water treatment even when the water supply remains in compliance.
Where does Woodcreek’s water come from?
Woodcreek’s water supply comes from groundwater sourced from the Evangeline Aquifer. As groundwater moves through soil and rock, it can naturally pick up minerals and other substances that influence water quality.
Does Woodcreek use chlorine or chloramine?
Woodcreek uses chlorine as a disinfectant. The most recent report shows an average chlorine residual of 2.07 mg/L, with levels ranging from 0.64 to 3.68 mg/L, below the 4 mg/L limit. Chlorine is used to control bacteria and microorganisms, but it can also contribute to taste and odor concerns for some households.
Are there disinfection byproducts in Woodcreek’s water?
Woodcreek’s most recent water quality report doesn’t list disinfection byproduct results. Byproducts such as trihalomethanes form when chlorine reacts with organic matter in water, and carbon or reverse osmosis filtration can reduce them at the tap.
Does Woodcreek water contain lead?
Lead was reported at 0 ppb at the 90th percentile, below the federal action level of 15 ppb, and copper was 0.0299 ppm, well below its 1.3 ppm action level. While this is a positive result, lead can still vary from home to home because it is typically introduced through plumbing materials, fixtures, or service lines, rather than the water source itself.
Is Woodcreek water hard?
Yes. Woodcreek’s water is very hard. The most recent water quality report shows total hardness averaging 285.5 ppm, about 16.7 grains per gallon, with a range of 283 to 288 ppm. Water this hard commonly leaves scale on fixtures and appliances and spots on dishes.

Are PFAS or other emerging contaminants found in Woodcreek’s water?
