1 A Notice of Turbidity from the Water Resources Department
The City of Phoenix routinely monitors water at the plant for turbidity (cloudiness).
>> On January 12, 2021, the Val Vista WTP briefly experienced higher than normal turbidity readings during treatment. This issue was quickly resolved. Sampling at the end of the Plant demonstrated that all water quality standards were met for all water entering the City of Mesa's distribution system
Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth.
