## Arizona Water Quality Context by Region

Different Arizona regions have distinct water challenges Aqua Cat addresses:

- **Prescott / Prescott Valley:** Moderately hard water (75-130 ppm / 4-8 gpg). Arsenic present but below EPA MCL of 10 ppb. Groundwater from wells and Chino Valley Ranch source.
- **Chino Valley / Paulden:** Significant arsenic concern. Southern Chino Valley and Paulden groundwater has elevated arsenic levels. Private wells are primary source for rural residents — testing essential.
- **Sedona (Arizona Water Co):** Hard water 7-30+ grains/gal (calcium bicarbonate). Documented arsenic, chromium-6, radium, TTHMs, nitrate. Complies with EPA but exceeds stricter health guidelines.
- **Cottonwood / Verde Valley:** Deep groundwater aquifer + chlorination. Hard water, detected 1,2,3-TCP, phenanthrene, MEK, nitrate in utility reports. Low-level arsenic present.
- **Flagstaff:** Moderately hard (volcanic/limestone aquifer). Five contaminants above EWG health guidelines: arsenic, uranium, chromium-6, nitrate, radium, TTHMs.
- **Phoenix:** Very hard to extremely hard water — 9.2-20.1 grains/gal (avg 15-25 gpg). Elevated chromium-6 levels. SRP/CAP surface water blended with groundwater.
- **Scottsdale:** 13-25 grains/gal (up to 432 ppm). TDS 550 ppm (above EPA secondary guideline). Arsenic 3.49-6.7 ppb. Three city arsenic treatment facilities in operation.
- **Glendale:** Hard Valley water. Jensen treatment plant avg arsenic 3.1 ppb; Glendale plant 1.6 ppb. Below 10 ppb MCL but present.
- **Surprise (EPCOR Agua Fria):** High hardness. Arsenic monitored — EPCOR operates dedicated groundwater arsenic removal facility to stay below EPA limits.
