Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 86326 Tap Water

What contaminants are above EPA limits in ZIP 86326?

ZIP 86326 has 14 contaminants above EPA health guidelines in the latest available data, including Benzene at 1990.0x the EPA guideline. The full table on this page lists every tested compound and its measured level.

Will boiling ZIP 86326 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 86326, 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 86326?

Public records identify COTTONWOOD MUNICIPAL WATER VV6 as a primary water system associated with ZIP 86326. Service boundaries can vary by address, so confirm exact service with the utility.
