Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Peoria tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Peoria, PFOA 5.6 ng/L was measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing; one health-based violation is on record (Nitrate). PEORIA CITY OF (PWSID AZ0407096) has a Purity Score of 69/100 (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 Peoria?

PEORIA CITY OF (PWS ID AZ0407096) is the public water system on record for Peoria, Arizona, serving about 187,676 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does Peoria get its drinking water?

Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).

Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Peoria's water?

Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-11-20 to 2025-12-08), PFOA was measured at 5.6 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (14.8 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory) and PFHxS (3.7 ng/L, below the 10 ng/L federal limit) were also detected. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.

Is there lead in Peoria's tap water?

Lead is not in Peoria'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.

Has Peoria's water system had violations?

The federal SDWIS record lists a health-based violation for PEORIA CITY OF within about the last ten years: Nitrate (2016). The findings above show each one's status.

What does the latest Peoria water report show?

PurityMap's current record for Peoria holds 32 findings: 3 above a reference, 2 detected within the reference and 27 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
