Spring Water Quality: The Real Numbers
Spring isn't a city — it's unincorporated Harris County served by dozens of MUDs. Most buy surface water from the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA), treated at Houston's Northeast Water Purification Plant from Lake Houston. Some MUDs still blend groundwater from the Gulf Coast Aquifer.
| Contaminant | Spring Range | EPA Limit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 120-200 ppm | None (not regulated) | Hard — causes scale |
| Chloramines | 1.6-3.5 ppm | 4 ppm (MRDL) | Most MUDs (surface & ground) |
| TTHMs | ND-45 ppb | 80 ppb | Varies by source |
| HAA5 | ND-39 ppb | 60 ppb | Varies by source |
| Arsenic | ND-3.1 ppb | 10 ppb | Surface water MUDs only |
| Lead | 2.4-8.3 ppb (90th %) | 15 ppb | Below action level |
What This Means
Spring's water meets EPA standards — but there's more going on than most people realize. Your treatment needs depend on which MUD you're in.
- •Hardness at 120-200 ppm causes scale in pipes, water heaters, and tankless units. Groundwater-only MUDs run harder (160-200+ ppm). Surface water areas are somewhat softer but still enough to cause problems.
- •Chloramines — most Spring MUDs use chloramines regardless of whether they're on surface water or groundwater. It's not just a surface water thing. Chloramines require catalytic carbon filtration — standard carbon filters won't cut it.
- •Arsenic at 2-3 ppb is primarily a concern for MUDs receiving NHCRWA surface water (TX1013298), not all Spring MUDs. Groundwater-only MUDs like MUD 249 show no arsenic detected. RO at the kitchen sink removes it from drinking water if your MUD has it.
- •Disinfection byproducts (TTHMs, HAA5) are higher on surface water MUDs. Groundwater MUDs on chloramines tend to have lower or non-detect DBPs since there's less organic matter in well water to react with. Catalytic carbon filtration reduces them either way.

Water Source by Area
Spring's water varies by MUD — some use surface water, others use groundwater. Chloramines are common across both. Here's what we typically see:
| Water Source | Hardness | Disinfectant | DBPs | Areas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NHCRWA Surface Water | 120-160 ppm | Chloramines | Higher DBPs | Gleannloch Farms, Spring Trails, newer MUDs |
| Groundwater + Chloramines | 160-200 ppm | Chloramines | Low/no DBPs | Spring Falls, Spring Lakes, parts of Klein near Louetta |
| Groundwater + Free Chlorine | 160-200+ ppm | Free Chlorine | Moderate DBPs | Older MUDs near I-45, Bammel (e.g., MUD 82) |
