The Best Iron Water Filters in Mesa, Arizona
Mesa relies on three drinking water sources:
1. Salt and Verde River water from Salt River Project that supplies the City Zone.
2. Colorado River water from Central Arizona Project that supplies the East Zone.
3. Thirty wells that supply water throughout the entire City.
Mesa's water distribution system is designed to keep the water flowing to the customer. However, when hydraulic conditions within the system change from the normal conditions, the water flow can be reversed. When this backflow happens, contaminated water can enter the distribution system. Arsenic is a common contaminant found in Arizona water. Have your water tested often. Be sure you are drinking, cooking and bathing with clean, healthy water.
Large parts of aquifers within the Mesa area have been found to have considerably high levels of nitrate. Septic system discharges are common nitrate sources in thre rural areas and this has contributed to the contamination of surface and groundwater in Arizona. Nitrate can cause serious health effects. You can read more about nitrate at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
