Water Quality and Storage

Why do you fluoridate our drinking water?

In 2000, Salt Lake County residents voted to have fluoride added to treated water in the county. You can contact the Salt Lake Valley Health Department directly at 801-313-6600 with more questions.

What is the hardness of my water?

170mg/L or 10 grains per gallon.

My water is cloudy or brown. What do I do?

Cloudy (milky or whitish) water is caused by air in the line. You can run a faucet in an upstairs bathroom for a few minutes to see if it clears, but air in water usually resolves itself over time.

Brown or reddish water is caused when sediment in the pipeline is stirred up, usually from a main line break. Flush the lines in your home by letting them run until the water is clear.

How can I find out what is in my drinking water?

Water quality information can be found on our website in the Water Information section.

How do I store my water for emergencies?

Emergency water storage information can be found by viewing the "Emergency Water Storage" page in the Water Information section.
