The Woodlands water runs 160 ppm hard — and the Lake Conroe blend means higher disinfection byproducts than most Houston suburbs. We fix both — softeners starting at $2,965.
"We had no idea our water had elevated TTHMs until they tested it. System was in the next week."

The Woodlands Water Quality: The Real Numbers
Data from the San Jacinto River Authority 2024 water quality report. The Woodlands gets a 50/50 blend of groundwater and treated surface water from Lake Conroe — which affects the chemistry.
| Contaminant | Woodlands Level | EPA Limit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 160 ppm | None (not regulated) | Moderately hard — causes scale |
| Chlorine Residual | 1.43 ppm | 4 ppm | 36% of limit |
| TTHMs | 48.5 ppb | 80 ppb | 61% of limit |
| HAA5 | 17 ppb | 60 ppb | 28% of limit |
| Arsenic | Not detected | 10 ppb | Excellent |
| Lead | 1.07 ppb | 15 ppb | Excellent |
What This Means
The Woodlands water is safe to drink — all 10 MUDs are rated "superior water systems" by TCEQ. But the Lake Conroe blend creates a specific profile.
- •Hardness at 160 ppm (9.3 grains per gallon) causes scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances. A softener fixes this.
- •TTHMs at 61% of EPA limit — higher than groundwater-only systems because surface water requires more treatment. Catalytic carbon filtration removes these.
- •No arsenic detected — better than many Gulf Coast groundwater systems.
- •Excellent lead levels — 1.07 ppb at the 90th percentile, well below the 15 ppb action level. No lead service lines found in the distribution system.

Water Hardness Across The Woodlands
Unlike Katy (which has multiple MUDs with varying hardness), The Woodlands has a unified water system managed by SJRA and Woodlands Water. Hardness is consistent at around 160 ppm across all nine villages.
| Area | Water Source | Hardness |
|---|---|---|
| All Villages | SJRA Woodlands (50% groundwater, 50% Lake Conroe) | ~160 ppm |
The blended system means consistent water quality across Grogan's Mill, Panther Creek, Alden Bridge, Sterling Ridge, Creekside Park, and all other villages.
