Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Bullhead City tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Bullhead City, PFOS 7.3 ng/L and PFOA 5.3 ng/L were measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. BULLHEAD CITY MOHAVE (PWSID AZ0408032) has a Purity Score of 55/100 (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 Bullhead City?
BULLHEAD CITY MOHAVE (PWS ID AZ0408032) is the public water system on record for Bullhead City, Arizona, serving about 36,330 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does Bullhead City get its drinking water?
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Bullhead City's water?
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2025-03-24 to 2025-11-04), PFOS was measured at 7.3 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFOA was measured at 5.3 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (3.1 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory), PFHxA (3 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) and PFHxS (7 ng/L, below the 10 ng/L federal limit) were also detected. PFPeA (3.7 ng/L) was also detected; it has no federal or state limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Is there lead in Bullhead City's tap water?
Lead is not in Bullhead City'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 Bullhead City water report show?
PurityMap's current record for Bullhead City holds 31 findings: 3 above a reference, 3 detected within the reference, 1 detected with no limit and 24 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
