Common Water Problems in Arizona
Below are some of the most frequent issues our team finds in homes and businesses across the state. Click any problem to learn more about causes, warning signs, and proven treatment options.
Hard Water
Hard water is the most common issue in Arizona, caused by high levels of calcium and magnesium. It leaves white scale buildup on faucets and dishes, clogs appliances, and makes soap less effective.
Iron & Rust
Iron and manganese can turn water orange or brown, stain laundry, and cause metallic tastes. These minerals often appear in well water or older plumbing.
Chlorine Taste & Odor
Many Arizona municipalities use chlorine to disinfect water. Over time, this leads to unpleasant taste and smell.
Sulfur (Rotten-Egg Smell)
If your water smells like sulfur or rotten eggs, it’s often due to hydrogen sulfide gas or bacteria in the water supply.
Cloudy or Murky Water
Cloudiness (turbidity) usually comes from sediment, silt, or air bubbles. While not always harmful, it can signal other issues in your plumbing or well.
Arsenic
Naturally occurring arsenic is common in Arizona groundwater and can be dangerous with long-term exposure.
PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)
PFAS compounds resist breakdown and can accumulate in the body over time. They’re increasingly found in Arizona’s groundwater sources.
Lead
Older plumbing and service lines can leach lead into drinking water — especially when water is acidic or sits in pipes.
Nitrates
Fertilizers, septic systems, and agricultural runoff can introduce nitrates into private wells. High nitrate levels can be dangerous, particularly for infants and pregnant women.
Bacteria
Private wells and poorly sealed plumbing may harbor coliform or E. coli bacteria. These can cause illness if untreated.
Salt & Sodium
Softened water may contain small amounts of sodium. While usually safe, some homeowners prefer salt-free conditioning or RO systems for drinking water.
