In drinking water, ppm ≈ mg/L, ppb ≈ µg/L and ppt ≈ ng/L. Calculated hardness in grains per US gallon (gpg) = mg/L as CaCO₃ ÷ 17.118, rounded to one decimal. ND means below the reporting limit, not zero.
MCL is an enforceable contaminant limit; MRDL is a disinfectant limit. A secondary guideline concerns aesthetics. TTHM/HAA5 compliance uses locational running annual averages; read the utility’s notices as well as individual results.
PFAS results are compound-specific. Source monitoring, entry-point samples and tap tests are different. A detected result does not identify every PFAS compound or establish the level at your home.

More about your local water
Very hard. Match treatment to your goals.
Hardness depends on the part of Scottsdale served. We use the approximate area table in the 2026 report rather than the different numbers on the utility’s undated drinking-water FAQ. Confirm present hardness with a test before programming a softener. Do not transfer these figures to a different utility serving a Scottsdale mailing address.

We keep each utility’s results separate, show the reported sample year, and distinguish averages, maxima and tap-sampling percentiles. Hardness classifications use USGS ranges. Missing data stays unknown.
