Queen Creek, AZ
gallon
- PFAS status
- Not flagged
- Source
- Town of Queen Creek, 2024
- 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 Queen Creek’s tap.

Chlorine you can taste
Queen Creek reports average chlorine of about 0.76–0.95 mg/L. That’s legal, but it’s enough to taste and smell, and to dry out skin and hair.

Key contaminants
- Hardness
- About 12 grains per gallon. Enough for scale in pipes and appliances, weaker soap and drier skin and hair.
- Chlorine and its byproducts
- Chlorine keeps the pipes safe, and THMs and HAAs form along the way. A whole house carbon filter removes both.
- Arsenic
- Present at low, naturally occurring levels. Lower than nearby groundwater cities, but still worth treating at the kitchen tap.

Questions people in Queen Creek ask.
- Why does my water taste like chlorine in Queen Creek and San Tan Valley? Cities add chlorine to keep water safe on its way through the pipes. Queen Creek reports average levels around 0.76–0.95 mg/L. That’s within EPA limits, but enough to taste and smell, especially in summer. A whole house carbon filter removes it at every tap.
- Do I need a water softener and a filter? A softener fixes hard water. A filter fixes chlorine taste, smell and chemicals. They solve different problems, so many East Valley homes use both, combined in one whole house system. For drinking water, add reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink.
