Contact your city water department and ask for a water report.

Most of the water in Brazoria County tends to be a little on the hard side. Some tend to have salt and iron in them. I typically use RO water when I am brewing, for my water tends to have alot of salt in it.

RO water?

remandsager · Dec 19, 2012

Reverse osmosis water - purified water with minerals removed, like distiller water, only created in a different way. Usually fairly readily available, and not too expensive...

Most of the grocery stores in the area will have kiosks setup to dispense RO water. runs about 35 cents a gallon.

I have not.

Well thanks anyway

Here's the 2012 report. It's lacking just about everything we care about... 2012 Report

The 2005 report has all the useful brewing info, but is 8 years old and not really applicable any longer. 2005 Report

I just emailed the City of Pearland Public Works department for more info. I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks. I found those reports but never heard back from the city of Pearland.

barrooze · Aug 30, 2013

Here's what they sent me:

Calcium-30.9
Magnesium-6.74
Sodium-190
Chloride- 89.3
Sulfate-14.3
Alkalinity-224
ph-8.05
Hardness-103

I thought it had tasted a bit salty!

Does Pearland get their water from Houston, or do they have their own source?

thisisbeer · Aug 30, 2013

Pearland has there own

thisisbeer · Aug 30, 2013

And thanks for finding the report

In case people are still wondering. Just got my report from Ward Labs today.

barrooze · Mar 11, 2014

That's great to see actual lab results! Thanks for sharing! It's interesting to see that most of the values are very close to what the city provided me. Thanks again!

No problem! It's good to have some confirmation on them.
