What's really in Lake Havasu City's water
Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM)
Detected
Detected below the federal limit. 5 EPA records on file (most recent 2025).
PFAS (forever chemicals)
Detected
Detected in the supply below the federal limit. PFAS are "forever chemicals" that don't break down and accumulate over time. Compounds found: PFBS.
Water hardness
very hard
Lake Havasu 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.
Monitoring & reporting notes
EPA records below are administrative or monitoring/reporting compliance items — not measured exceedances of the legal limit. They do not, on their own, mean the water is unsafe.
Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)
Monitoring / reporting note
Monitoring / reporting compliance note — not a measured exceedance. 3 EPA records on file (most recent 2025).
Arsenic
Monitoring / reporting note
Monitoring / reporting compliance note — not a measured exceedance. 2 EPA records on file (most recent 2023).
EPA violations may be administrative or monitoring/reporting issues rather than measured exceedances of a health limit. A utility appearing on this list does not by itself mean the water is unsafe to drink. Health-based goals (EPA MCLG / WHO) are health targets and are often stricter than the legal limit (the federal MCL). The only way to know what is in your specific home is to test your own water.
