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
City of Yuma guidance describes very hard water. The annual report separates results for Main Street and Agua Viva where needed.
City of Yuma and Yuma County are different service areas. Do not apply city treatment-plant results to San Luis, Somerton, a different supplier or a private well. The 2025 report also describes a dated Agua Viva chlorine-dioxide incident; read that notice separately from hardness and everyday treatment goals.
A useful local question
The city’s published 18–22 gpg hardness guidance supports pairing a whole-home filter with a softener for scale. Confirm current incoming hardness and household water demand before sizing. A home system recommendation is not a replacement for utility instructions during an incident.
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.
The systems covered here publish separate reports. Use the official links to confirm your utility and system. If yours is not listed, choose Other / not sure.
