Local water, explained without a sales pitch. Every figure here comes from a published source and gets re-checked.
Every figure in these is reproduced from a published source and linked back to it. Where a number could not be traced to a source, it is not here — and where a commonly repeated local figure turned out to be wrong, the guide says so.
The city publishes 75–130 ppm — 4.3 to 7.6 grains per gallon — and calls it moderately hard. Where that sits on the USGS scale, what it costs you, and why the higher numbers you will hear quoted do not come from the city’s report.
Read itThe EPA limit is 10 ppb and it does not apply to your well. What has actually been measured in this county — including 2,900 ppb near Paulden — what removes arsenic and what does not.
Read itPublished ranges, what drives the spread, and the permit requirement that decides who is legally allowed to do the job — which rules CreekWell out today.
Read itTwo questions decide everything: city water or a private well, and how hard it is. The published numbers for all three local systems, and what to test first if you are on a well.
Read itNo rankings and no recommendations. How to check an ROC license number yourself, what a bond actually covers, why the recommendation should follow the lab result, and the sales tactics to walk away from — applied to CreekWell too.

We are adding Arizona contractor licenses, and we are not booking new work until that is done — a few weeks. Jobs already on the schedule are not affected.
For new work, hold a place in the first round or call or text 928-228-5770. Bookings go in the order they come in, at the prices published on this site. No deposit.
Work is performed under the Arizona handyman exemption, A.R.S. § 32-1121(A)(14): any single project is limited to less than $1,000 including labor and materials, and excludes work requiring a building permit and all natural gas and propane work. Neil Staiger has 32 years of Arizona plumbing experience and holds current manufacturer certifications from Moen, Kohler, Navien, Rinnai and Charger Water Treatment Products. More about that. Additional Arizona contractor licenses are in progress.
New work is not being booked for a few weeks while we rebrand and add contractor licenses. Jobs already scheduled are not affected.
