The Proof
Why Do Bonham, TX
Homeowners LOVE Us?
We had noticed a stronger disinfectant taste in our Bonham water and wanted to know what could be causing it. Culligan tested the water, explained the local chloramine levels, and walked us through our options without making it confusing. It helped us understand what was coming from the tap and what we could do about it.
We had questions about spots on fixtures and whether a softener made sense for our home. The water test helped us understand the minerals in our water and what treatment options would actually help. Culligan gave us clear recommendations, and the system has made everyday water use feel much better.
We wanted better water for drinking, coffee, cooking, and ice. After learning more about the trace contaminants and dissolved solids reported in the local water, we decided to install a reverse osmosis system. The difference in taste has been noticeable, and we feel better knowing our drinking water has extra filtration.
Frequently Asked Questions for Water in Bonham, TX
Is Bonham tap water safe to drink?
Bonham’s tap water is treated to meet drinking water requirements, but trace contaminants, minerals, disinfectants, and treatment-related byproducts can still be present. That is one reason many homeowners choose water filtration for better taste, added confidence, and extra protection at the tap.
Where does Bonham get its water?
The Bonham water quality information provided breaks results into raw source water and treated finished water from the NTMWD Bonham Water Treatment Plant. The source details shown do not name a specific lake, reservoir, or aquifer, but the report does show that source water can contain naturally occurring minerals, runoff-related contaminants, and other compounds before treatment. This is why local testing and in-home water treatment can still be helpful.
Does Bonham water contain disinfection byproducts?
Yes. Bonham testing reported bromate as a disinfection byproduct, with levels lower than the detection level in the finished water. Bromate can form as a byproduct of drinking water ozonation. Even when reported levels are low, many homeowners still choose additional filtration to reduce unwanted tastes, odors, and treatment-related concerns at the tap.
Does Bonham use chlorine or chloramines?
Bonham reported chloramine residual at an average level of 4.10 ppm, with a reported range of 4.10 to 4.10 ppm. The report also listed chlorine dioxide and chlorite. Chloramines help control microbes in the water system, but they can also contribute to chemical taste or odor. A properly selected whole-house carbon filtration system can help reduce disinfectant taste and smell throughout the home.
Were any microbiological issues reported in Bonham water?
Bonham reported 0 positive total coliform samples and no fecal coliform or E. coli positives in the information provided. Even when microbiological results are compliant, many homeowners still prefer filtration for added peace of mind, especially for drinking water, cooking, and ice.
What contaminants were found in Bonham water?
Testing detected several regulated and monitored contaminants in Bonham water, including arsenic in treated water at 0.552 to 0.708 ppb, barium at 0.0454 to 0.0496 ppm, fluoride at 0.761 to 1.92 ppm, nitrate at 0.137 to 0.186 ppm, sodium at 58.3 to 65.6 ppm, sulfate at 87.1 to 90.9 ppm, total dissolved solids at 235 to 251 ppm, and total hardness as CaCO3 at 6.4 to 22.4 ppm. These results help show why a home water test can be valuable, even when water is treated before it reaches the home.
Is lead or copper a concern in Bonham water?
Lead was reported as lower than the detection level in treated water, while copper was reported at 0.0165 to 0.0244 ppm in treated water. Even when lead and copper are low in treated water, they can still enter water through household plumbing, fixtures, and service lines. Homes with older plumbing may benefit from a water test and a drinking water filtration system designed to reduce metals.
Does Bonham water contain PFAS or forever chemicals?
PFAS test results were not listed in the Bonham water quality information provided. That does not mean homeowners are not concerned about PFAS. Testing requirements and water quality priorities can change, and many families choose advanced filtration, such as reverse osmosis, for added protection against a wider range of potential contaminants.
Does Bonham water have taste or odor concerns?
Bonham’s report included taste and odor compounds called geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol, also known as 2-MIB. These compounds were found in raw source water and are commonly associated with earthy, musty, or dirt-like odors. The finished water results were listed below the detection level, but homeowners who still notice taste or odor at the tap may benefit from carbon filtration or a drinking water system.
Is Bonham water hard?
Bonham’s treated water reported total hardness as CaCO3 at 6.4 to 22.4 ppm, while calcium, magnesium, and total dissolved solids were also reported. Even when hardness is not extreme, homeowners may still notice water quality issues tied to minerals, plumbing, fixtures, or taste. A water test can help determine whether a softener, filter, reverse osmosis system, or combination system is the right fit for the home.
Should I use a water filter in Bonham?
Many Bonham homeowners can benefit from a water filter, especially if they want to reduce chloramine taste, odor concerns, trace contaminants, sodium, dissolved solids, or metals that may enter through household plumbing. A local water test can help determine whether a whole-house filter, reverse osmosis system, water softener, or combination system makes the most sense for your home.
