ARLINGTON WATER UTILITIES

Arlington Water Utilities employees work hard each and every day to provide tap water that meets all requirements for safety set by federal and state regulations . Like most of the tap water in Texas , Arlington ’ s water supply comes what is known as surface water .

Lake Benbrook

Richland Chambers Reservoir

Lake Arlington

Cedar Creek Reservoir

The City of Arlington purchases its water for treatment from the Tarrant Regional Water District , or TRWD . The water comes from four reservoirs : Cedar Creek , Richland Chambers , Lake Arlington and Lake Benbrook . ( see map )

That surface water goes through several processes at Arlington ’ s two water treatment plants to make it drinkable . Ozone is used as the primary water disinfectant . Then , aluminum sulfate and a cationic polymer are added to help dirt and other particles clump together and settle out during treatment .

The water is then filtered through granular activated carbon beds to remove smaller particles and substances that are dissolved in the water . The water is treated with chloramine ( chlorine and ammonia ) as it enters storage . Chloramine is a disinfectant that keeps the water safe on its way to your faucet .
