Key Contaminants in Apache Junction's Water
PFAS (Formally Disclosed)
Arizona Water Co. notified customers in writing via the 2024 CCR. PFAS compounds - linked to cancer, thyroid disruption & immune effects - were detected. Standard filters do NOT remove PFAS. Reverse osmosis does.
Arsenic
Multiple wells require active arsenic treatment due to high concentrations from the Eastern Salt River Basin aquifer. Even treated water may contain low but significant arsenic levels at the tap.
Very Hard Water (14 - 18 GPG)
Apache Junction has some of the hardest water in the East Valley. 100% groundwater means higher mineral content, accelerated scale buildup, and shortened appliance lifespan.
Nitrates
Detected in groundwater. At elevated levels, nitrates are dangerous for infants under 6 months (blue baby syndrome). Reverse osmosis reduces nitrates by 60 - 75%.
