Grand Prairie extends into Dallas, Tarrant and Ellis counties. This city-specific utility report follows the supplier on your bill rather than assigning Dallas Water Utilities’ results to every address.

ppm ≈ mg/L; ppb ≈ µg/L; ppt ≈ ng/L in drinking water. Hardness in gpg = mg/L as CaCO₃ ÷ 17.1. ND means not detected at the method’s reporting limit—not zero.
MCL is a maximum contaminant level. MRDL is a disinfectant limit. Lead/copper action levels use system sampling percentiles and are not a safe-tap threshold. TTHM/HAA5 compliance uses locational annual averages.
PFOA/PFOS comparisons use EPA’s 4 ppt values. Historical detections are not a present compliance finding; EPA assesses compliance using running annual averages. Rule implementation is being reviewed. EPA PFAS benchmarks and implementation ↗

More about your local water
A city-specific report across county boundaries.
Grand Prairie spans Dallas, Tarrant and Ellis counties. This page sits under the Dallas County hub for navigation, while using Grand Prairie utility results for matching customers in any of those counties. The county link does not define the water service boundary.
A useful local question
Yes. Grand Prairie reported a 1.2 ppb 90th percentile for 2024, while 3 of 50 sites exceeded the 15 ppb action level. Test your own tap if lead is a concern; the city percentile cannot identify your home’s result.
We keep each utility’s results separate, show the reported sample year, and distinguish averages, maxima and tap-sampling percentiles. Hardness classifications use USGS ranges. Missing data stays unknown.
