Salt Lake City water quality throughout the years

Now
Then

As the capital of Utah, Salt Lake City is the most populous city in the state today. In the northern part of Utah, it lies at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains. Utah has 1,850 different sources of water, including lakes, reservoirs, rivers, wells, and springs. Mountain streams from nearby Wasatch canyons provide more than 60 percent of Salt Lake City’s drinking water. During the summer months, the Salt Lake City government supplements water flows with deep wells from across the valley.

Although Salt Lake City water quality is considered safe to drink, it contains chlorine as a disinfectant, which has an unpleasant taste and odor. Furthermore, waters near the surface are reported to have contained giardia, a microbe that causes giardiasis, according to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality.

Historically, Salt Lake City’s water quality failed to meet specific standards due to a lack of regulation and over-irrigation. As a result, the city’s drinking water contained higher levels of contaminants such as lead, bacteria, and metals.

In the 19th century, settlers diverted water from the Great Salt Lake to irrigate their crops, leading to significant changes in the lake’s salinity levels. For a long time, the lake’s ecosystem and water quality were affected by this.

Frequently asked questions

Is Salt Lake City tap water safe to drink?

Yes, Salt Lake City tap water is typically safe to drink and consistently meets or exceeds all federal and state drinking water standards. The Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities conducts frequent testing to ensure water quality and publishes an annual Consumer Confidence Report with all results.

For businesses, especially in older buildings, internal plumbing can affect water quality. Aging pipes and fixtures may introduce trace contaminants or affect taste. With its advanced filtration system, the Culligan Quench water cooler provides your office with clean, great-tasting water every day.

Does Salt Lake City have hard water?

Yes, Salt Lake City’s water is considered hard, containing higher levels of calcium and magnesium. Hard water can cause scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances such as coffee machines or dishwashers, which may lead to increased maintenance costs and reduced equipment efficiency.

For businesses, this can impact both operations and employee satisfaction. A Culligan Quench water filtration and softening solution can help reduce scale buildup, protect equipment, and maintain high-quality water for drinking and break room use.

Is there arsenic in Salt Lake City water?

Arsenic has been detected in Salt Lake City’s water supply, but levels are carefully monitored and remain below the maximum contaminant level (MCL) set by the EPA. The 2024 Consumer Confidence Report provides detailed information on arsenic and other trace contaminants.

For businesses in healthcare, food service, or office settings, the installation of a Culligan Quench point-of-use filtration system offers a reliable way to improve water taste while also making it healthier by reducing exposure to contaminants.
