What Makes Verde Village's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Verde Village, Arizona, in Yavapai County — a Yavapai County community adjacent to Cottonwood and Camp Verde on the Verde River in the Verde Valley of central Arizona — receives its water from Verde Utilities or Yavapai County water, drawing from the Verde River through the central Arizona Verde Valley distribution.
The very hard 245 mg/L hardness and elevated TDS of 586.6 mg/L reflect the Yavapai County Verde River supply's very hard calcareous character — the Permian Schnebly Hill Formation and Mississippian Redwall Limestone are highly calcareous formations of the Colorado Plateau, and the arid Verde Valley climate concentrates minerals through evaporation in the shallow river (compare Cottonwood AZ: 392/1157 in Yavapai County; Camp Verde AZ: 240/574 in Yavapai County; Verde Village varies by source blend within the same Yavapai County Verde River Permian-Mississippian calcareous supply). The Verde River at Yavapai County — Permian Schnebly Hill Formation (highly calcareous — primary hardness contributor), Mississippian Redwall Limestone (calcareous — secondary contributor), and Quaternary Verde Valley alluvium (calcareous — TDS contributor).
At 245 mg/L with TDS 587, Verde Village's water is very hard — a water softener is strongly recommended to protect plumbing and appliances. A reverse osmosis system is recommended for drinking. The PFAS level of 3.5 ppt is low — a clean result for the Verde Valley. Review Verde Utilities' annual water quality report for the latest data.
Geology & Source: Verde Village in Yavapai County draws from the Verde Utilities on the Verde River (Yavapai County, central Arizona) — the Verde River at Yavapai County drains Permian Schnebly Hill Formation (highly calcareous) and Mississippian Redwall Limestone (calcareous) — Arizona Yavapai County Verde River Permian-Mississippian calcareous supply produces very hard water at 245 mg/L with TDS 586.6 mg/L.
