Water by zip · 84036
Kamas, Francis & Woodland water
The 84036 zip covers more than one water situation. Kamas City runs its own groundwater system (three wells and two springs), while Francis and Woodland are separate small systems, and a lot of rural properties here are on private wells. That mix changes what you should know about your water.
Your water system
Kamas City Water (plus separate small systems and many private wells)
Source: groundwater; Kamas City runs three wells and two springs, while Francis, Woodland, and rural properties are separate systems or private wells.
The Heber Valley and the wider Wasatch Back are widely documented as very hard water, commonly in the range of 15 to 25 or more grains per gallon region-wide. Hard water is not unsafe, but it scales pipes and water heaters, spots glassware, and keeps soap from lathering.
What stands out
On a private well? You are the water department
Private wells in the Kamas valley are not centrally treated or tested. Whatever is in the ground is what reaches your tap, and it varies a lot property to property: hardness, iron, sediment, and the ones you cannot taste, like bacteria and nitrates. Regular testing is the only way to really know.
On city water? Ask for the report
We could not find a current Kamas City water quality report posted online. If you are on Kamas City water, request the latest annual report directly from the city for your specific numbers.
Hard like the region
The Kamas valley shares the Wasatch Back's hard, mineral-rich groundwater, so scale and spotting are common here too.
This is a plain-language summary, not a substitute for your utility's official report. Kamas City Water (plus separate small systems and many private wells) reports meeting federal drinking-water standards. For the full, current numbers, read the official report linked above.
