The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Arizona Department of Health Services, Environmental Protection Agency, and the World Health Organization have determined that there is no evidence that the COVID-19 can be transmitted through drinking water, and the safeguards we already use to protect water quality are effective to protect against viruses. Those who live in our service area do not need to stockpile bottled water in the midst of growing fears about the spread of COVID-19. The drinking water we provide is safe to drink.
Lastly, the Apache Junction Water District and Arizona Water’s water systems are interconnected. If an emergency of water supply occurs, we can move water back and forth between our systems to help each other as needed to make sure our customers continue to have safe and reliable water service during this critical time.
