What's actually in your tap water?
Pick your ZIP code in the Greater El Paso or Las Cruces area to see the contaminants your local utility reports above EWG's health guidelines — and exactly how we'd treat each one.
What we won't claim about your water
Fear is the standard sales tool in this industry. We'd rather you knew the limits of what a water system actually does.
Hard water is a nuisance, not a hazard
El Paso's water meets federal drinking-water standards. Hardness wrecks water heaters, fixtures and laundry — it isn't making your family sick, and we won't tell you it is.
A softener doesn't filter contaminants
It exchanges hardness minerals — that's all it does. Anything in the list above that concerns you is handled by reverse osmosis at the sink, which is why RO is included rather than upsold.
These numbers aren't ours
They come from the EWG's compilation of your utility's own reported testing. Look them up yourself — and compare them against your utility's annual water quality report.
Contaminant data is compiled from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) Tap Water Database and reflects chemicals reported above EWG health guidelines for each utility. EWG health guidelines are stricter than federal legal limits — your water may still meet all EPA standards. Exact, current measured levels are on each utility's linked EWG page. Utility assignment is by ZIP and approximate; confirm your provider on your water bill. This tool is informational and not a substitute for professional water testing.
