Black Canyon City Water Quality
What's in Black Canyon City's water
Arsenic
Violation on record
14 EPA violations on record (most recent 2025). Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that dissolves into groundwater from rock and is also released by mining and industry. Long-term exposure is associated with several cancers and with skin, cardiovascular, and developmental harm. It is common in parts of the Southwest.
Nitrate
Violation on record
1 EPA violation on record (most recent 2024). Nitrate enters water mainly from fertilizer runoff, septic systems, and animal waste. High levels can interfere with the blood's ability to carry oxygen, a special danger for infants. Long-term low-level exposure has also been linked to elevated cancer risk in some studies.
Water hardness
very hard
Black Canyon City's water is very hard. Hardness isn't a health risk, but it drives scale on fixtures and water heaters, shortens appliance life, and leaves skin and hair dry.
