Compliance

1health-based violation in the last 10 years

From EPA SDWIS. Counted once per contaminant per year, as in the Track record score.

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.

A federal limit (an MCL or action level) is an enforceable legal cap; a health goal is often stricter. Meeting the limit is a compliance fact, not a health clearance, and PurityMap publishes no overall compliance verdict.

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.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who does FLORENCE WATER COMPANY serve?

FLORENCE WATER COMPANY (PWS ID AZ0411017) is a public water system serving 14,593 people in Florence, Arizona.

Where does FLORENCE WATER COMPANY get its water?

FLORENCE WATER COMPANY is on record as drawing from groundwater. The source shapes which contaminants matter most for this system.

What does FLORENCE WATER COMPANY's monitoring record show?

PurityMap's record for FLORENCE WATER COMPANY holds 32 findings: 2 above a reference, 2 detected within the reference, 1 detected with no limit and 27 not detected, from 32 evidence records. Every finding links to its source; a substance that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

Is FLORENCE WATER COMPANY's water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not issue a safety verdict. It publishes FLORENCE WATER COMPANY's measured results against each contaminant's benchmark so you can read them in context. Safety depends on the specific finding, your plumbing, and how the water reaches your tap.

How current is this FLORENCE WATER COMPANY data?

The latest published record for FLORENCE WATER COMPANY is dated 2026-10-15. Utilities report on regulatory cycles, so results reflect the monitoring period rather than a live reading.

Does this assessment represent my home's tap water?

No. It is assessed at the water-system level from FLORENCE WATER COMPANY's own monitoring. It does not cover the service line to your building or the plumbing inside it, which can add lead and other metals after the water leaves the system. A tap test is the way to know what reaches your glass.

What contaminants were detected in FLORENCE WATER COMPANY?

Lithium, Nitrate, Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS), Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) and Perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) were detected in this record. Each finding shows its measured value, its reference and its source on this page.

What should I do if I'm concerned about PFAS in FLORENCE WATER COMPANY's water?

Start with what the record shows: the PFAS findings above list each measured value against its reference. This record cannot show your home's plumbing, so a tap test tells you what reaches your glass. If you decide to treat your water, look for a filter whose certification covers the specific PFAS compounds in your record; the section "Certified for a concern found here" lists only products with a current certification record for these concerns.
