Track record

0health-based violations in the last 10 years

From EPA SDWIS. A clean violation history means no enforcement action was recorded; it does not cover contaminants without a limit.

Not in this recordDisinfection by-products weren't monitored in this dataset

No result is not a pass. Your utility's annual water quality report may list them, and a certified lab test covers your own tap.

Test your own tap

Screening tells you if something is worth a closer look; a lab result is the number you can act on.

  • Screening: quick check, not lab-grade

    Watersafe Drinking Water Test Kit

    Silver Lake Research

    Lead, bacteria, nitrate, copper, iron, chlorine, hardness and pH

    • Turnaround: Minutes; the bacteria test can take up to 48 hours

    What it can't tell you: Each test gives a yes/no or a rough range, not a lab number, and it cannot detect PFAS or arsenic.

    ETR Laboratories

    50+ substances, including lead, copper, arsenic, nitrate, hardness and coliform bacteria

    What it can't tell you: It does not test PFAS, and not every result on the panel falls under the lab's accredited scope.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Apache Junction tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Apache Junction, no regulated PFAS were detected in EPA's 2024 testing. ARIZONA WATER CO - APACHE JUNCTION (PWSID AZ0411004) has a Purity Score of 100/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.

Who provides tap water in Apache Junction?

ARIZONA WATER CO - APACHE JUNCTION (PWS ID AZ0411004) is the public water system on record for Apache Junction, Arizona, serving about 62,055 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does Apache Junction get its drinking water?

Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).

Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Apache Junction's water?

None of the 29 PFAS in EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-06-03 to 2024-12-03) was detected. "Not detected" means below the lab's reporting limit, not proven zero.

Is there lead in Apache Junction's tap water?

Lead is not in Apache Junction's current published record. Lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so a certified home test is the way to know yours.

What does the latest Apache Junction water report show?

PurityMap's current record for Apache Junction holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference and 30 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

Every value is the published result from the cited public record. A reporting limit is the lowest level the method could reliably quantify; a non-detect is not a guarantee of zero.
