Taylorsville, from the SLCC Redwood campus out to Valley Regional Park on 2700 West, is a quick drive west of our Salt Lake City office. Much of the city is served by the Taylorsville-Bennion Improvement District, and most of that water comes out of the ground rather than down from the canyons.
Around Taylorsville
Taylorsville brought together two older communities, Taylorsville and Bennion, and became a city on July 1, 1996, during Utah's statehood centennial. It sits in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley between I-215 and Bangerter Highway, and Bennion Hill, a broad ridge running east to west, rises above the neighborhoods around it.
The Salt Lake Community College Redwood campus on Redwood Road at 4600 South is hard to miss, and Utah State University Salt Lake has a campus on Levoy Drive. Farther west, 2700 West is home to the Taylorsville Library and Gary C. Swensen Valley Regional Park, and the Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center sits on Taylorsville Boulevard.
Taylorsville's Groundwater
The Taylorsville-Bennion Improvement District's 2024 water quality report says the majority of its supply is pumped from wells that draw from the Salt Lake Valley Principal Aquifer. It buys additional water from the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District. The district runs 11 active wells.
Well water tends to carry more dissolved minerals than treated surface water. More dissolved minerals can mean more hardness and a stronger mineral taste in your drinking water.
Getting the Most From Your Water in Taylorsville
With most of Taylorsville's water coming from the aquifer, dissolved minerals are a bigger part of the picture than in cities that run mainly on canyon water. A softener handles the hardness, while an RO system at the kitchen sink is the tool for lowering dissolved solids in the water you drink and cook with.
Water Softener and Water Treatment in Taylorsville
For Taylorsville we usually recommend a water softener for the whole house and a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink, which removes most dissolved solids from your drinking water.
