Water Quality Blog
Expert insights on Northern Nevada water quality, treatment options, and home water solutions from your local water experts.
Arsenic in Virginia City Highlands Well Water
About 1,400 residents, all on domestic wells in a volcanic-rock aquifer. USGS documents a dropping water table. We do not publish a ppb range.
Arsenic in Washoe Valley Well Water
Wells we see here run 2 to 25 ppb — quieter than Fallon, still over the EPA 10 ppb line. Nearby city water is not your well.
Arsenic in Palomino Valley Well Water
DRI collected well samples in Palomino Valley for the 2022 study. On jobs here we see 2 to 110 ppb. A ranch next door is not your lab sheet.
Arsenic in Verdi Well Water
Most Verdi homes are on wells, often with iron and hardness next to arsenic. Check TMWA vs well. We see 0 to 150 ppb.
Arsenic in Fernley Well Water
City water is treated groundwater from the 2009 plant. Private wells never go through it. We see 9 to 150 ppb on wells.
Arsenic in Fallon Well Water
Churchill County private wells never went through the city plant. A 2002 survey of 351 taps hit 2,100 ppb. We still see 8 to 2,100.
