For residents and home buyers in this mid-size Texas city, the local drinking water infrastructure, which is split across multiple distinct water systems, faces significant quality challenges. Midland's location in a South-central region characterized by large urban centers, a prominent oil and gas industry, and varied geology introduces complex environmental factors that can affect local water supplies. Because the area's tap water receives a low overall assessment, those moving to or living in the city may want to research home filtration or treatment options to improve their daily tap water experience.
