Hard Water In Fair Oaks Ranch
Fair Oaks Ranch runs its own water utility, pulling from about 30 wells plus surface water through GBRA. The well water comes from the Trinity Aquifer, and it’s hard. The city’s 2015 water report measured hardness at about 268 parts per million, or roughly 15.6 grains per gallon.
At that level you’ll see white crust on faucets and shower glass, and scale builds up inside water heaters and dishwashers. Our work here this year included:
- Water softener checks, including one for a new homeowner who wanted to know if the existing softener was doing its job
- Reverse osmosis (RO) repairs. On one call, an under-sink RO system leaked badly enough to flood a kitchen.
Just Bought A Home In Fair Oaks Ranch?
Fair Oaks Ranch started as Ralph Fair’s ranch in the 1930s. Homes went up from the 1970s on, the city incorporated in 1988, and the median home now dates to 2002. If you just moved into one, a few checks are worth doing early:
- An AC tune-up to learn the system’s age and condition before summer
- A softener and water heater check, given the water hardness
- A look under the kitchen sink at the RO unit, disposal and supply lines

Fair Oaks Ranch FAQ
Hard. The city’s well water comes from the Trinity Aquifer, and its 2015 water report put hardness at about 15.6 grains per gallon. A softener is the most common fix.
Yes. RO systems have several small tubes and fittings under the sink, and a loose fitting or cracked housing can leak for days before anyone notices. Check under the sink when you change the filters, and call us if you see water.
Usually, yes. Repeat backups often come from a clog in the drain line past the disposal, not the unit itself. We clear the line, and if the disposal is worn out, we replace it.
Yes. We serve the whole city, whichever county your home is in.
