Lindon water
Lindon City draws its drinking water from groundwater: Dry Canyon Springs and four culinary wells. The city's most recent Annual Drinking Water Quality Report (covering 2023) shows the water met federal and Utah drinking water standards, and the sources were rated low susceptibility to contamination. As with most Utah groundwater, the water carries dissolved minerals that affect taste and hardness.
Your water system
Lindon City (Culinary)
Source: Groundwater from Dry Canyon Springs and four active culinary wells (350 E Center, 370 N 2nd E, 200 E 750 N, and 175 W 250 N).. Public water system ID UTAH25016.
The official CCR does not publish a hardness number, but Lindon's mineral-rich groundwater (TDS up to 464 ppm) is typical of hard Utah water that can leave scale and spotting.
What stands out
Dissolved minerals (TDS)
Total Dissolved Solids measured 268 to 464 ppm across Lindon's sources, well under the 2000 ppm limit. Higher TDS is common in Utah well water and reflects the natural minerals that also make water taste hard.
Sulfate and sodium
Sulfate ranged 28.49 to 102.37 ppm (limit 1000) and sodium ranged 14.05 to 23.61 ppm. Both are naturally occurring and within standards, but they contribute to mineral taste.
Nitrate and fluoride
Nitrate (as nitrogen) was 0 to 2.204 ppm (limit 10) and fluoride was 0 to 0.109 ppm (limit 4). Both stayed comfortably below their federal limits.
Lead and copper
At the tap, lead came back at 0 and copper's 90th-percentile result was 0.125 ppm, below the 1.3 ppm action level. Lead in any home is usually from older household plumbing rather than the city supply, so a point-of-use filter adds peace of mind.

What helps
What we would do about it.
For great-tasting drinking water at home, a countertop or under-sink water ionizer paired with a whole-home salt-free conditioner can cut the mineral taste and scale that come with hard Utah groundwater, while leaving the city's safe supply intact.
