ARIZONA WATER CO - APACHE JUNCTION Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
Arizona Water Co - Apache Junction serves approximately 62,055 people in the Apache Junction area. The system relies on groundwater as its primary source.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
As of our last update, no lead service line inventory data is publicly available from this water system. This does not mean there are no lead service lines in the system—it means the information has not been shared in a format we can access.
Federal law requires all water systems to have completed a lead service line inventory by October 2024. If you haven't received information from your utility about their inventory results, you have the right to ask for it directly.
What This Means for Your Home
Whether or not a utility has published its inventory, individual homes may still have lead service lines. The only reliable way to know if your home has one is to:
1. Contact Arizona Water Co - Apache Junction directly and ask whether the service line at your address is made of lead, galvanized steel, or copper. 2. Ask about testing options. Many water systems offer free or reduced-cost water testing for lead at the tap. 3. Check your home's age and records. Homes built before 1986 are at higher risk; pre-1950 homes very frequently have lead service lines.
If you do have a lead service line, the EPA and CDC recommend using a certified water filter (NSF-53 certified) on your drinking water tap until replacement is complete. Boiling does not remove lead.
Next Steps for Residents
- Contact your water utility at their main phone number and ask: "What is my service line material?" and "Do you have a lead service line replacement program?"
- Request a copy of the utility's lead service line inventory if it's been completed.
- Test your water if you're concerned about lead. Ask your utility about sampling kits or certified labs in your area.
- For health questions, contact your pediatrician or the CDC's lead safety hotline (1-800-CDC-INFO).

Frequently asked
Does Arizona Water Co - Apache Junction have lead in the water?
Lead is more likely to come from pipes in or leading to your home than from the source water itself. The utility should have a lead service line inventory that shows which homes have lead pipes. Contact them directly to ask about your specific address.
How do I know if my home has a lead service line?
Call Arizona Water Co - Apache Junction and ask the material of the service line at your address. You can also look at your home's age (built before 1986 = higher risk) and any building permits or records. A plumber can also inspect it for you.
Is it safe to drink tap water if there might be lead pipes?
Lead in drinking water is a health risk, especially for children and pregnant people. If you're concerned, use a certified water filter (NSF-53) on your tap or drink bottled water until you know your service line material and have had your water tested.
What should I do if my service line is lead?
Talk to your water utility about replacement programs or financial assistance. In the meantime, use a certified filter, flush the tap in the morning, and avoid using hot tap water for drinking or cooking. Contact your pediatrician or local health department if you have health concerns.
