Kirkland Water Profile

Every home here is on a private well — and nobody tests it but you

Kirkland, Kirkland Junction, Skull Valley, Wilhoit, Peeples Valley and Yarnell sit in the Bill Williams groundwater basin, and there is no municipal water system out here. Every household draws from its own well — which means no one tests your water, treats it, or calls you when something changes. Private wells are not regulated by the EPA or the State of Arizona. That responsibility is entirely yours.

Two things show up over and over in this corner of Yavapai County. Arsenic: more than 40% of wells tested county-wide exceed the EPA limit of 10 ppb, well above the state average — and arsenic has no taste, no smell and no color, so a lab test is the only way to know. Hard to very hard water: groundwater here runs slightly alkaline and mineral-heavy because it moves slowly through mineral-rich rock in an arid climate. That is the scale on your fixtures and the reason water heaters die early out here.

Iron staining, sediment and sulfur smell are common on top of that, and they vary well to well — sometimes property to property on the same road. Which is why nothing gets recommended here until a test comes back. The $185 Premium Water Test is a certified lab panel covering 30+ contaminants including arsenic, and every system we install out here is sized from those numbers.

Well Water Questions From Out Here

Yes. Kirkland is about 35 minutes from our Prescott base, and Aqua Cat covers Kirkland, Kirkland Junction, Skull Valley, Wilhoit, Peeples Valley and Yarnell. Water treatment flat rates are the same statewide, and Yavapai County plumbing flat rates apply here too - you are not paying a rural surcharge.

Yes, and it is the first thing to do. There is no municipal water system out here, so no agency tests or treats your well - private wells are not regulated by the EPA or the State of Arizona. More than 40% of wells tested in Yavapai County exceed the EPA arsenic limit of 10 ppb, and arsenic has no taste, smell or color. The $185 Premium Water Test is a certified lab panel covering 30+ contaminants.

The Jaguar Package is $4,750 flat installed - an AdEdge Medallion system running Bayoxide E33 media that treats both arsenic III and arsenic V with no chemicals, targeting under the EPA limit of 10 ppb. Same flat rate here as anywhere in Arizona. If the well also has iron, sediment or bacteria, the Cougar Package covers the complete setup at $6,475 flat.

That is iron, and it is common out here. The Panther Package - iron/sulfur filter plus softener - is $3,400 flat installed. If you are also getting grit, the Sand Cat Package is $3,075. Which one you need depends on your test numbers, not a guess over the phone.
