Public-record summary
Record-only indicator — incomplete or old records can produce a high score. A score of 100 is not a safety finding. Coverage: 1/1 mapped systems have a dated lead result; 0/1 have copper results; 1/1 have UCMR monitoring. Tap water quality in Eleven Mile Corner, Arizona (85122) receives an record-only indicator of C (Mixed record-based signals) with a score of 58 out of 100, based on analysis of EPA compliance data, contaminant testing, and violation history. This is 14 points below the Arizona state average of 72. The area is served by Arizona Water Co - Pinal Valley, a groundwater system providing water to approximately 134,432 people. PFAS testing detected 6 compounds, all below the EPA final MCL values used for comparison. The area has 30 violations over the past 5 years, though none were classified as health-based.
Grade C summarizes the records available to this model, not household safety. Missing, bounded or old measurements can produce a high score, including 100. Review coverage, dates and the current utility report before interpreting this indicator.
Health Information
Lead is a toxic metal that can leach from aging pipes and plumbing fixtures.
Even low levels of lead exposure can cause developmental delays in children, kidney damage, and cardiovascular effects in adults. The EPA action level is 15 ppb, but health experts recommend no safe level of lead in drinking water.
Lead enters water primarily through corrosion of lead service lines, lead solder, and brass fixtures — especially in homes built before 1986.
If lead is detected above 1 ppb, consider using a certified lead-removal filter (NSF/ANSI 53) for drinking and cooking water. Run cold water for 30 seconds before use if water has been sitting in pipes.
Common Questions
The record-only indicator is C (58/100). It cannot determine whether your tap water is safe. Missing, bounded or old measurements can produce a high score. Check the coverage and sampling dates below and your utility's current notices.
ZIP code 85122 is served by 1 water system using groundwater sources, providing water to approximately 134,432 people. Groundwater is naturally filtered through rock and soil, often requiring less treatment. However, it can be vulnerable to contamination from underground sources like naturally occurring arsenic, nitrates from agriculture, or PFAS from industrial sites.
The largest reported lead value or bound is 0.0 ppb, for the sampling period ending 12/31/2025. This is a system-level 90th-percentile record, not a measurement at your tap. Compare the sampling date and original utility report before interpreting it.
6 PFAS compounds were detected in water serving Eleven Mile Corner, Arizona, with no result above the individual comparison values shown here; some compounds have no individual federal MCL. This comparison is informational: federal compliance timelines and the status of some PFAS standards are still evolving. Activated carbon or reverse osmosis filters can reduce some PFAS when appropriately certified and maintained.
Water systems serving Eleven Mile Corner, Arizona have received 30 violations in the last 5 years. Violations can range from paperwork issues (monitoring & reporting) to serious health-based violations where contaminant levels exceeded safe limits. Review the violation details above for specifics.
This public-record indicator cannot select household treatment. Confirm your supplier, current utility report and tap-testing results first; match any treatment to a certified contaminant-reduction claim and follow its maintenance instructions.
