Fort Huachuca Water Quality
What's in Fort Huachuca's water
PFAS (forever chemicals)
1.8×above guideline
Detected above the EPA's 4 ppt limit for PFOA/PFOS — the "forever chemicals" linked to cancer and immune effects. Compounds found: PFHpA, PFHxA, PFHxS, PFOA, PFOS, PFPeA.
Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)
Violation on record
1 EPA violation on record (most recent 2023). HAA5 are a second group of chlorine disinfection byproducts formed when chlorine reacts with organic matter in water. Long-term exposure is associated with increased cancer risk and possible developmental effects. They commonly occur together with trihalomethanes.
Nitrate
Violation on record
1 EPA violation on record (most recent 2022). Nitrate enters water mainly from fertilizer runoff, septic systems, and animal waste. High levels can interfere with the blood's ability to carry oxygen, a special danger for infants. Long-term low-level exposure has also been linked to elevated cancer risk in some studies.
Water hardness
very hard
Fort Huachuca's water is very hard. Hardness isn't a health risk, but it drives scale on fixtures and water heaters, shortens appliance life, and leaves skin and hair dry.
