Phoenix Water

Phoenix Water provides water services to more than 1.5 million Phoenix area residents within 540 square miles. Most of the water supply comes from lakes and rivers like the Verde river. Providing water to a city that sits in the middle of the Sanoran Desert is no easy task. Phoenix has invested millions of dollars in infrastructure to process, store, and distribute water efficiently.

Consumer Confidence Water Quality Reports

At WaterZen, we review these reports and make the information available, in a concise, straightforward, and easy-to-understand way.

WaterZen Rating

Even in 2020, lead and copper levels in the drinking water of some cities across the United States are too high, potentially creating public-health issues for the people living in those areas.

What about Phoenix Water? How much lead and copper is in your drinking water? And how does it compare to other cities in the state? We examined data from hundreds of cities across the nation to understand and grade your water quality.

As you can see, Phoenix Water received a below-average grade because the amounts of lead and copper found in the water supply were higher than most other water providers we've analyzed.
