⚠️ PFAS Under Active Monitoring. The Town of Florence began monitoring PFAS levels under the EPA's Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR5). Current results show levels below the new federal MCLs — but monitoring is ongoing, and water systems have until 2029 to achieve full compliance. Getting ahead of it now is the smart move.

Key Contaminants in Florence's Water
PFAS (Monitored)
Florence is actively testing for PFAS under federal rules. Currently below MCLs, but PFAS accumulates in the body over time — even low-level chronic exposure raises long-term health risk. Reverse osmosis is the most effective removal method available to homeowners.
Very Hard Water
At 14–18 GPG, Florence water is very hard. Groundwater picks up heavy mineral loads from the Pinal County aquifer. Severe scale buildup on fixtures, appliances, and water heaters is common.
Arsenic
Naturally occurring from desert geology. Florence's groundwater source means arsenic risk is elevated compared to surface water cities. Long-term exposure is linked to cancer and cardiovascular effects.
Chlorination Byproducts
Chlorine disinfection creates THMs and HAAs when reacting with naturally occurring organics in the water. These compounds are linked to long-term health risks with regular consumption.
