Arlington’ s Water Story Starts at Texas Lakes
Arlington Water Utilities provides tap water that meets all requirements for safety set by federal and state regulations. The City of Arlington purchases surface water for treatment from the Tarrant Regional Water District( TRWD). The water comes from four reservoirs: Cedar Creek, Richland- Chambers, Lake Arlington and Lake Benbrook.( see map)
Ozone is used as the primary water disinfectant at Arlington’ s water treatment plants. 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
Testing Before Your Tap
Arlington Water Utilities tests drinking water throughout the water treatment process and at locations all over the city. In 2024, the laboratory took 7,258 samples for 266 different substances and completed 15,762 analyses. Data in this report was collected between Jan. 1, 2024 and Dec. 31, 2024, unless another time frame is noted.

Health Information for Special Populations
You may be more vulnerable than the general population to certain microbial contaminants, such as Cryptosporidium, in drinking water. Infants, some elderly or immuno-compromised persons such as those undergoing chemotherapy for cancer; those who have undergone organ transplants; those who are undergoing treatment with steroids and people with HIV / AIDS or other immune system disorders can be particularly at risk from infections. You should seek advice about drinking water from your health care provider. Additional guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline: 800-426-4791
