Florence, AZ
gallon
- PFAS status
- Monitored
- Source
- Town of Florence, 2024
The Town of Florence is monitoring PFAS under an EPA program. Standard filters don’t remove PFAS; reverse osmosis does.
- Grains per gallon (gpg)
- How much dissolved calcium and magnesium is in your water — the minerals that leave white crust on faucets, spots on glasses and buildup in your water heater. Under 1 gpg is soft; 7 and up is hard; above about 10.5 is very hard.
- PFAS
- Man-made “forever chemicals” from things like non-stick pans, waterproofing and firefighting foam. They don’t break down, so they can build up in the body over time. You can’t see, smell or taste them.
LOCAL DETAILS
What’s in Florence’s tap.
Florence uses groundwater from the Pinal County aquifer, which is very hard.
PFAS under active monitoring
Florence is testing for PFAS under the EPA’s fifth monitoring round (UCMR 5). Current results are below the new federal limits, and testing continues.

Key contaminants
- PFAS (forever chemicals)
- Being monitored. Levels are below federal limits today, but PFAS builds up in the body over time. Reverse osmosis is the most effective home treatment.
- Hardness
- 14–18 grains per gallon. Heavy scale on fixtures, appliances and water heaters is common.
- Arsenic
- Comes naturally from desert groundwater, so it runs higher than in surface water cities.
- Chlorine byproducts
- THMs and HAAs from disinfection. Carbon filtration reduces them.

Questions people in Florence ask.
- Does reverse osmosis remove PFAS? Yes. Reverse osmosis is the most effective way to remove PFAS from drinking water at home. It also removes arsenic, lead, chromium-6 and nitrates. Water softeners and most standard filters don’t reliably remove PFAS.
- How long does a water softener last? A well-kept water softener usually lasts 10 to 15 years, and the resin inside can last even longer. Keeping salt in the tank and stopping chlorine from reaching the resin are the two biggest things that extend its life.
