Trusted Dallas water company

Yes, Dallas tap water meets or exceeds all state and federal drinking water standards as tested by Dallas Water Utilities. However, “meets standards” doesn’t always mean “free of all contaminants.” These standards set maximum allowable limits for certain substances, and trace amounts of minerals, disinfectant by-products, and other contaminants may still be present.

Many businesses still choose additional filtration for improved taste, odor, and peace of mind. Culligan Quench offers several point-of-use drinking water filtration systems for workplaces and public spaces that reduce contaminants like PFAS, chlorine, nitrates, and more.

Dallas uses chlorine and chloramine to disinfect water and keep it safe as it travels through the distribution system. During seasonal “chlorine burns,” the city temporarily switches to free chlorine, which can make the taste or smell stronger.

To address chlorine taste or odor in your workplace drinking water, Culligan Quench offers a 5-step filtration solution called quenchWATER+, which includes a sediment filter, a pre-carbon filter, a reverse osmosis filter, a mineral add-back filter, and a polishing filter. The result is mineral-infused, electrolyte-enhanced water free from chlorine taste and odor.

While Dallas tap water is considered safe to drink by regulatory standards, independent analyses (like those from the Environmental Working Group) have identified trace levels of:

• Disinfection by-products (e.g., trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids)
  
• Nitrates and nitrites
  
• Arsenic
  
• Chromium (hexavalent)
  
• Lead (primarily from household plumbing, not the city supply)
  

To reduce exposure to these contaminants in your business’s drinking water, consider a bottleless water cooler that connects to your building’s existing waterlines and filters water on-site.
