Perth Water Composition Data

[sathid]

Hi everyone,

I emailed the water corp a few days ago, requesting data on my local water composition. I just thought it might be useful for others.

Put it into beersmith, and we have higher sodium levels than almost any of the water profiles listed

Cheers,

Troy

Hi Sathid
What suburb are you in? I think Dianella (where I am) is fed from their as well.

 

[sathid]

Bentley.

I would imagine quite a lot of the central/western suburbs are fed from Mt Yokine.

I found this map in an old water quality report on their website, so I would be off Mt Yokine as well

well, I fall into the south perth/kewdale area on that map. They asked for my address and phone number ( h34r so I'm guessing they have sent me the correct information.

I'm wondering if perhaps the map is outdated?

It was an 05-06 report which is all I could find on the web site

I'm in Bold park and these are some of my figures though they are a couple of years old now. The numbers in brackets are the Yokine figures that you have, so you can see its much better living in Scarboro. I should really contact the water people and see if much has changed.

Sodium.......... 60(80) 94
Potassium...... 2.2(4) 6.5
Calcium......... 3.6(20) 5.5
Magnesium..... 5(8) 11
Hardness as CaCO3 30(90) 42
Chloride........ 92(140) 150
Sulphate......... 9(20) 47
Alkalinity as CaCO3 25(60) 62

Meanwhile ... down here in Mandurah

Which has a large proportion of its Water made up from Bore water -

Sodium..........61------------- 60(80) 94
Potassium...... dunno---------2.2(4) 6.5
Calcium......... 22-------------3.6(20) 5.5
Magnesium..... 7--------------5(8) 11
Hardness as CaCO3 dunno--30(90) 42
Chloride........ 107------------92(140) 150
Sulphate......... 12------------9(20) 47
Alkalinity as CaCO3 dunno--25(60) 62

pH of Mandurah Aqua - 7.4 they reckon

So similar to Yokine I would say.

Still tastes like sh*t.
