The short answer
2 results are above EPA’s legal limit, and 1 more is above the health goal. The worst: Arsenic, above the legal limit. 46 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2018 to 2024.
Arsenic and nitrate: Arizona’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2020 to 2023, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Fluoride: EPA’s violation records from 2020 on, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Feb. 18, 2015 to Jan. 23, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the legal limit2
Arsenic
Comes from the source
18.6ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2023
2023 average: 18.3 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 18.6 ppb, in 2021, about twice EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb. In 2023, the latest year on file, it averaged 18.3 ppb, above the limit. EPA recorded violations for arsenic at this utility in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 19.8 ppb, in 2019, and EPA recorded violations in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Fluoride
Forms or is added in treatment
4.5ppm
Limit violation, 2024
EPA recorded 11 violations of the legal limit for fluoride at this utility in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The highest measured level, for Oct. 1, 2024 to Dec. 31, 2024, was an average of 4.5 ppm, above EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 4.0 ppm, in 2018.

0.37ppb
90th percentile, 2022 to 2024
In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 0.37 ppb, below EPA’s action level of 15 ppb. The action level drops to 10 ppb on Nov. 1, 2027. EPA’s health goal for lead is zero.

2023 average: 0.24 ppm
Averaged by year, the highest was 0.3 ppm, in 2020, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2023, the latest year on file, it averaged 0.24 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 0.79 ppm, in 2014.

What handles it
A certification covers specific claims, not a whole standard. Look for these claims on the certifier’s listing, not the box. Wording varies a little: NSF writes “Lead Reduction,” WQA just “Lead.”
- NSF/ANSI 53
Claims: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction, Fluoride, Lead Reduction
For: Arsenic, Fluoride, Lead
Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)
- NSF/ANSI 58
Claims: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction, Fluoride Reduction, Lead Reduction
For: Arsenic, Fluoride, Lead
Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=300 ppb Reduction; Arsenic (V) (300 ppb influent level)
At the tap, or for the whole house?
Lead and copper usually come from pipes and fixtures inside or near your home. A whole-house system sits where water enters, so it cannot catch what your own plumbing adds after it. For those, the filter that counts is the one at the tap. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Arsenic and nitrate results here are Arizona’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Chromium (total) comes from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Cs Citrus Park Water Company’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has newer results for those and the contaminants this page does not show.
Your own plumbing. Lead results are the 90th percentile across homes the utility samples. Your home’s service line, solder and fixtures decide yours. A certified lab test is the only way to know.
What it means for your health. This page reports what the records show and EPA’s limits and goals; it is not medical advice. If you are worried about a health effect, talk to a doctor or your local health department.
Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q3; UCMR 5 didn’t sample this utility; CDC’s yearly averages for Arizona cover 2020 to 2023; EPA’s compliance samples are from Feb. 18, 2015 to Jan. 23, 2018.
