What is in the water at 72117
3 public water systems serve this ZIP code in the federal records. Everything below comes from EPA monitoring data, and everything missing is named.
CENTRAL ARKANSAS WATER
PWSID AR0000465 · AR · serves 368,455 people
PFAS and lithium
Sampled, nothing detected. Tested for 30 compounds under UCMR 5 with none found at or above its reporting limit. A reporting limit is the lowest concentration the method can measure, so this means “below that” rather than “zero”.
Health-based violations
No open health-based violation on record. This covers MCL, treatment technique and MRDL violations in SDWIS that have not been returned to compliance. It excludes monitoring and reporting violations, which are the large majority nationally, so this is not “no violations”, and SDWIS completeness varies by state.
Hardness
Median hardness 35 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 20 stations serving this system across 385 results, 2015-04-07 to 2025-12-16. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.

GRAND PRAIRIE REGIONAL WATER
PWSID AR0000738 · AR · serves 14,912 people
PFAS and lithium
1 compound detected at or above the reporting limit under EPA’s UCMR 5 monitoring, across 6 samples.
| Compound | Highest detected | Samples | Most recent |
|---|---|---|---|
| lithium | 33 µg/L | 6 | 5/22/2024 |
A detection is a measurement, not a violation and not a health finding. EPA states that UCMR 5 results do not indicate compliance or non-compliance with any limit.
Health-based violations
No open health-based violation on record. This covers MCL, treatment technique and MRDL violations in SDWIS that have not been returned to compliance. It excludes monitoring and reporting violations, which are the large majority nationally, so this is not “no violations”, and SDWIS completeness varies by state.
Hardness
Median hardness 68 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 22 stations serving this system across 114 results, 2015-04-14 to 2026-02-17. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.
What this report cannot tell you
Every figure describes water at a sampling point: a treatment plant, an entry point to the distribution system, or a monitoring station. None of it describes water arriving at your tap. Plumbing between the two can add lead and copper, and if your home was built before 1986 a test kit tells you something no federal dataset can.
