Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 86323 Tap Water

What contaminants are above EPA limits in ZIP 86323?

ZIP 86323 has 9 contaminants above EPA health guidelines in the latest available data, including Benzene at 8.6x the EPA guideline. The full table on this page lists every tested compound and its measured level.

Will boiling ZIP 86323 tap water remove Benzene?

Boiling tap water can kill many pathogens, but it does not remove most chemical contaminants tracked in EPA monitoring. Several dissolved contaminants can even concentrate as water evaporates. For the chemical contaminants reported in ZIP 86323, a certified filter is more reliable.

Do basic pitcher filters remove Benzene?

Basic pitcher filters are typically rated for chlorine, taste, and odor (NSF/ANSI 42), not for the broader list of contaminants tracked in EPA monitoring. Match the certification (NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 58, or P473) to the specific compounds listed in this report before assuming a filter helps.

Who provides tap water in ZIP 86323?

Public records identify CHINO VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL as a primary water system associated with ZIP 86323. Service boundaries can vary by address, so confirm exact service with the utility.

When was ZIP 86323 tap water last tested?

The most recent test date used in this report is October 2024. EnviroClarity last refreshed this page on 2026-05-04.

Where can I find the official water quality report for ZIP 86323?

Every U.S. public water system is required to publish an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). Contact CHINO VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL or visit their website for the latest official report covering ZIP 86323. The EPA also maintains a national CCR locator.
