The Truth About Arizona Tap Water: What You’re Really Drinking

Jason G • September 10, 2025

What’s in Arizona’s Tap Water?

Arizona residents are no strangers to dry heat, but there’s another issue quietly affecting thousands of homes: poor tap water quality. Whether you live in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, or surrounding areas, your water may contain more than you realize—and some of it could be affecting your health, plumbing, and appliances.

What’s in Arizona’s Tap Water?

Water in the Valley often contains:

  • High levels of calcium and magnesium (hardness)
  • Chlorine for disinfection
  • Sediment and rust from aging municipal pipes
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in some areas
  • Microplastics and trace pharmaceuticals

While water meets federal safety standards, that doesn’t always mean it’s safe, clean, or healthy by your standards.

The Dangers of “Safe” Water

🚱 Hard Water Effects

  • Dry skin, brittle hair, and itchy scalp
  • Soap scum and spotted dishes
  • Limescale buildup in appliances

🧪 Chemical Exposure

  • Chlorine can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs
  • VOCs and heavy metals can accumulate in your body over time
  • Microplastics have been linked to hormone disruption and gut health issues
