What's in Pinal's Water?

Pinal County homes may receive municipal water or rely on groundwater wells. Naturally occurring minerals, treatment chemicals, and local plumbing can all affect water quality at the tap.

Review your utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report and learn more from the EPA consumer confidence report guide and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.

Hardness Minerals

Mineral

Varies by source

Calcium and magnesium can cause scale buildup on fixtures, plumbing, and water-using appliances.

Chlorine & Disinfection Byproducts

Treatment-related

Municipal systems

Chlorine used for disinfection can affect taste and odor and may form byproducts when it reacts with organic matter.

Iron & Manganese

Mineral

Well-dependent

Some groundwater sources can contain iron or manganese that contributes to staining, discoloration, or metallic taste.

How to Protect Your Home

The right treatment depends on your water source and test results. A water softener can address hardness, whole-home filtration can reduce chlorine and sediment, and reverse osmosis can provide additional treatment for drinking and cooking water.
