Yes. Angleton’s drinking water meets federal and state drinking water standards. While the water meets regulatory standards, the report does note some monitoring and reporting violations and turbidity-related treatment issues during specific periods. These do not necessarily indicate unsafe water, but they do highlight areas where treatment or reporting did not meet standards.

Hardness levels were not specifically listed in the provided report. However, groundwater sources like those used in Angleton (including multiple wells) are commonly associated with moderate to hard water due to dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Recent sampling for Angleton’s drinking water included testing under the UCMR5 (Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule). Many PFAS compounds were reported below detection limits, including PFOA, PFOS, and PFNA, while a few compounds such as PFBA and PFPeA were detected at very low levels. The EPA is in the process of setting new maximum contaminant levels (MCLs), which range from 4 to 10 parts per trillion, equal to 0.00000000004 for PFOA and PFOS individually, and up to 0.0000000001 for PFNA, PFHxS, and HFPO-DA (GenX Chemicals).

Yes. Fluoride is present in Angleton’s water supply at levels ranging from approximately 0.2 to 0.35 ppm. This is below the EPA maximum contaminant level of 4.0 ppm.

Angleton’s water system is supplied by a combination of groundwater and surface water. Groundwater is drawn from the Gulf Coast aquifer through one active well and several emergency-use wells within the city. In addition, surface water is purchased from the Brazosport Water Authority, which sources water from the Brazos River and treats it at a facility in Lake Jackson before delivering it to the city.

Angleton’s water is treated through a combination of processes that include filtration, disinfection, and ongoing monitoring. Surface water purchased from the Brazosport Water Authority is treated prior to distribution, while disinfectants such as chlorine or chloramine are used throughout the system to control microbial contaminants. The city also monitors turbidity levels and organic carbon removal.

Many homeowners choose additional water treatment to address mineral content, taste, and overall water quality. The report notes several monitoring and reporting violations, including issues related to disinfectant level reporting and follow-up sampling requirements, as well as a turbidity-related treatment concern tied to filtration performance. While these events were addressed, they can raise concerns about consistency over time. A water softener can help reduce scale buildup and extend the life of plumbing and appliances, while filtration systems can improve taste, odor, and clarity at the tap. Additional filtration, such as reverse osmosis or whole-home systems, may also provide added peace of mind by addressing trace contaminants and supporting more consistent water quality throughout the home.

Angleton conducts regular water quality monitoring in accordance with state and federal requirements. This includes testing for disinfection byproducts such as TTHMs and HAA5, inorganic contaminants like barium and nitrate, microbial contaminants including coliform bacteria, and emerging contaminants through programs like UCMR5.
