Paradise Valley, AZ water at a glance
The Town of Paradise Valley doesn’t run its own water utility. Instead, its utility services page lists four providers inside town limits: EPCOR, the City of Phoenix, the City of Scottsdale and Berneil Water Company. Your address decides which one serves you, so check your water bill or the Town’s provider map.
EPCOR’s 2025 Water Quality Report for its Paradise Valley district lists hardness of about 12 grains per gallon, from a 2022 sample. That’s roughly 205 mg/L, which is “very hard” on the USGS scale. Its supply is local groundwater plus a link to Phoenix’s 24th Street Treatment Plant, which treats CAP and/or SRP canal water.
If Phoenix serves your home, its 2025 report lists 172 to 302 mg/L, about 10 to 17.6 grains per gallon.
- Confirm your provider on your bill before you set a softener
- Set the softener to that provider’s published hardness
- Test for toilet leaks: if food coloring added to the tank shows in the bowl after 15 to 20 minutes, it leaks

Septic or sewer: why it matters in Paradise Valley, AZ
The Town has two sewer providers. The City of Phoenix serves parts of the southwest and northwest, while the Town owns the rest of the system and the City of Scottsdale runs it. The Town also notes that many properties use a septic system instead.
On septic, every drop down the drain ends up in the tank. The EPA says one leaky or running toilet can add as much as 200 gallons a day. It also advises a professional inspection at least every three years, with pumping typically every three to five years.
We clear house drains and fix leaks and running toilets. If a backup points to the tank itself, we’ll tell you so you can call a septic professional.
Selling a home on septic? Maricopa County explains that Arizona rules require the seller to have a qualified inspector check it within six months before the transfer.

Permits and leak help for Paradise Valley homes
The Town’s plumbing permit covers jobs such as gas line repairs, new sewer service, water heater installs and whole-home repipes. Applications go through its online Citizen Portal, so we’ll talk through the permit step before work begins.
On a large lot, a leak in a buried line can go unnoticed. To check, turn off all water and look at your meter. A moving low-flow indicator or sweep hand points to a continuous leak. EPCOR’s Conservation Specialists can also help customers troubleshoot leaks.
