Free Water Testing in Sunrise: What an in-home test measures

Sunrise (population about 98,000 residents, in Broward County) is served by City of Sunrise Utilities Department. Source water: Biscayne Aquifer groundwater drawn from four city wellfields: Springtree, Sawgrass (Arena), Sawgrass (Flamingo Park), and Southwest. On-site testing of Sunrise finished water typically reads 7 to 11 grains per gallon for hardness.

Why a free in-home test makes sense here in Sunrise

Sunrise draws from four Biscayne Aquifer wellfields (Springtree, two Sawgrass fields, and Southwest), a multi-wellfield source profile shared by several western Broward utilities.

For Sunrise homeowners that translates into a specific set of treatment priorities. We commonly hear about:

  • Hardness scaling on glass shower doors and water heaters
  • Chlorine taste in cold drinking and ice water
  • Reddish or yellow staining on fixtures (iron)
  • Cloudy water at first draw (dissolved gas or sediment)
  • Soap that will not lather (high hardness)

What is in Sunrise water (notable details)

  • free chlorine secondary disinfection with TTHM and HAA5 reported within EPA limits in the most recent Sunrise Water Quality Report (source)
  • the Sunrise four-wellfield Biscayne Aquifer source profile is shared by several western Broward utilities and is the basis for the South Florida Water Management District's regional wellfield protection planning (source)

Frequently Asked Questions

What does City of Sunrise Utilities Department actually put in my Sunrise tap water?

City of Sunrise Utilities Department finishes water with free chlorine secondary disinfection and publishes an annual Consumer Confidence Report covering regulated contaminants. Hardness is not part of the CCR template, so we measure it on site. Sunrise finished water typically tests 7 to 11 grains per gallon at the kitchen tap.

Is Sunrise water actually hard, and does it need softening?

Sunrise finished water typically tests 7 to 11 grains per gallon, which is moderately hard to hard on the water-treatment scale. That level produces visible scale on glass shower doors, faucet aerators, and water heater elements within a year. Whether to install a softener depends on appliance load and household preference, not just the gpg number.

What does HydraGen Essentials measure during a free in-home test in Sunrise?

We test hardness directly (in grains per gallon), free chlorine residual against City of Sunrise Utilities Department's published value, total dissolved solids on a calibrated meter, iron, and pH. The visit runs 20 to 30 minutes. You get the readings written down and an explanation of what each one means for Sunrise homes specifically.

Will the test pick up PFAS or lead in Sunrise drinking water?

Lab-grade PFAS and lead detection takes certified equipment and a few days of turnaround, not an in-home test. We review City of Sunrise Utilities Department's most recent CCR with you to see what the utility has reported for Sunrise and recommend a certified lab test if your readings warrant it.
