While water supply questions are first at the forefront when thinking of Arizona’s water woes, the matter of water quality is an important part of the efforts municipalities are making. Climate change is driving a lot of issues people are facing when it comes to water, contributing also to what ends up in the water that people consume, officials say.
There are some concerns about what’s unseen in the water that we consume, from naturally occurring microbacteria to synthetic chemicals such PFAS, that can seriously impact people’s health.
In Arizona, experts say current practices for monitoring and managing water are up to par for handling and addressing any public health concerns that could be spread by water.
