The drinking water in Tempe is produced at two water treatment plants. The Johnny G. Martinez Treatment Plant, the other plant is simply named, the South Tempe Water Treatment Plant. Each plant receives surface water originating from various sources, including the Salt River, Verde River and Central Arizona Project, Colorado River) watersheds. Additional water sources include SRP and Tempe wells. The Salt River is characteristically higher in total dissolved solids (TDS) and chlorides (Cl-). While, the Verde River is higher in hardness(CaCO3). Fluctuations in water characteristics are dependent on the blends of source water being supplied to the plants for treatment. Disinfection of the water supply is accomplished by chlorination. Occurrences of musty/moldy or earthy tastes and odors may be detected in the system water. After an extended time of contact with plumbing, lead and copper may leach from plumbing materials into the drinking water. Two common minerals in the Arizona soil—calcium and magnesium—create one of the most notable changes in your tap water—water hardness. These tasteless minerals dissolve in the water and create what is known as hard water. Although hard water poses no health risk, it can create numerous challenges for the consumer. For example, the higher the hardness value, the more effort it takes for soap to perform its cleansing action. In addition to reducing the effectiveness of soap, hard water can leave soap deposits in sinks and leave spots on dishes and glassware. Hard water can also create scaly calcium deposits on faucets, showerheads and evaporative coolers, as well as the inside of pipes, hot water heaters and automatic dishwashers. An ion exchange water softener removes hardness (calcium and magnesium ions) by replacing them with sodium or in some instances potassium. http://www.budgetwater.com/water_softeners.htm If you are on a sodium-restricted diet, you may need the addition of a Reverse Osmosis unit starting at just $199. http://www.budgetwater.com/reverse_osmosis.htm

WARNING:
When it comes to water treatment equipment you should NEVER do business with ANY
company who does not have the same certifications as we do. It is just plain
crazy. There are so many "Fly by night" companies out there that it should be
the very FIRST rule in your decision making process. It is your first, and some
times ONLY, line of defense. Just look at our
home page to see our many appropriate
certifications. You will find them all in the top third of the page.
