Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is San Tan Valley tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For San Tan Valley, no regulated PFAS were detected in EPA's 2024 testing; one health-based violation is on record (Nitrate). EPCOR - SAN TAN (PWSID AZ0411128) has a Purity Score of 99/100 (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 San Tan Valley?

EPCOR - SAN TAN (PWS ID AZ0411128) is the public water system on record for San Tan Valley, Arizona, serving about 87,435 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does San Tan Valley get its drinking water?

Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
