ANNUAL REPORT
WATERQUALITY
Central Arizona Project (CAP) reliably delivers Colorado River water from Lake Havasu, located on Arizona’s western border, to central and southern Arizona. The total CAP system is 336 miles long and consists of open canals, inverted siphon pipelines, tunnels, pumping plants, check structures, turnouts, and the Lake Pleasant storage reservoir.
The CAP system provides a means for 1.5 million acre feet (MAF) of Arizona’s Colorado River allotment (totaling 2.8 MAF) to be delivered to the most populous areas of the state and reduce the use of groundwater for agriculture and other activities.

2 | 2019 Water Quality Annual Report
Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD), with more than 80 long-term customers, is Arizona’s largest supplier of renewable water. Customers are categorized in three distinct user groups: municipal and industrial (M&I), agricultural, and tribal. They use CAP’s Colorado River water to run businesses, water crops, and maintain households, all of which are critical to the quality of life in Arizona.
CAWCD does not provide potable water directly to the public, but supplies raw Colorado River water to its various customers. Lake Pleasant is CAP’s 10,000-surface-acre storage reservoir, and it is strategically utilized based on demand, while taking advantage of the lowest power rates possible. In general, Colorado River water is pumped into Lake Pleasant from CAP October to May, and water is drawn from the reservoir during summer months. Therefore, depending on the time of year, CAP customers may receive water that solely originates from the Colorado River, or a blend of water from the river and Lake Pleasant.
During the time that water is stored in Lake Pleasant, it may take on different water quality characteristics than originally found in the Colorado River. Each of these sources presents its own challenges as they are exposed to unique watershed-related events and activities, such as stormwater runoff, wastewater discharge, recreation, wildlife, algal blooms, and other factors that may affect water quality.
While agricultural and industrial customers may directly utilize raw CAP water, municipal customers filter, disinfect, and apply other necessary treatments to the water before it is delivered through the municipal distribution system for domestic use.
CAP WATER SOURCES
Central Arizona Project | 3
From 1985 to 1995, the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and CAWCD cooperated with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to implement a water quality sampling program in the CAP. USGS collected monthly and quarterly grab samples at three sites in the canal system and tested more than 50 parameters. Historical CAP water quality data is available online at:
https://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/qwdata
In 1996, CAWCD took over the water quality sampling program and expanded the scope to include additional sites and parameters. Since that time, CAWCD has produced Annual Water Quality reports, which detail the water quality measured in the canal throughout the calendar year. Past reports are available online at:

GRAB SAMPLES
Grab samples are collected monthly at six locations, including Lake Havasu, Little Harquahala Pumping Plant, Lake Pleasant Parkway, McKellips Road, Brady Pumping Plant, and San Xavier Pumping Plant (see page 8 map). Each monthly sample includes testing for 23 primary water quality constituents (Appendix A). In addition, quarterly samples are collected from four sites, including Lake Havasu, Lake Pleasant, Lake Pleasant Parkway, and San Xavier Pumping Plant (see page 8 map). Quarterly samples include the 23 primary constituents, as well 120 additional contaminants. A Hydrolab DS5X is also deployed during each sampling event to record temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and pH.
CAWCD contracts with a State of Arizona licensed and certified laboratory to perform the water quality analysis on grab samples. Verified results are then posted on CAP’s website and available for download at:
http://www.cap-az.com/departments/water-operations/water-quality
As a service to CAP customers, a robust monitoring program is in place to provide water users with valuable information regarding source and canal water quality. The monitoring program consists of both real-time measurements and monthly/quarterly grab samples. CAWCD also coordinates with CAP customers to provide additional sampling if needed.
REAL-TIME MEASUREMENTS
CAWCD monitors basic water quality in real-time at two locations along the canal; CAP Headquarters (7th Street) and just upstream of the Roosevelt Water Conservation District turnout in Mesa, AZ (McDowell Road). Both stations utilize a Hydrolab DS5X multiparameter meter to measure temperature, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. Meters are calibrated and maintained monthly to provide reasonably accurate data. Real-time data is automatically uploaded from each water quality meter every 15 minutes and is displayed on CAP’s website at:
http://www.cap-az.com/departments/water-operations/water-quality
CAP WATER QUALITY PROGRAM
Central Arizona Project | 5
EXPANDED WATER QUALITY PROGRAMIn 2020, CAWCD is placing more emphasis on its water quality program to provide customers with additional data, respond to customer requests, improve communications, and incorporate elements of the System Use Agreement (which allows for wheeling of non-project water).
The expansion of the program will include water quality monitoring at additional representative sample sites, as well as increasing the number of constituents to be tested. Monthly samples will now include 54 primary constituents, while quarterly samples will include an additional 171 EPA regulated and unregulated contaminants. Contaminant testing includes constituents historically sampled by CAWCD, as well as PFAs, disinfection by-products, pathogens, and more.
Samples collected from traditional sites in November and December 2019 were tested for the additional constituents and results are included in Appendix A.
CAWCD will also be working to update the CAP water quality website to improve access to data and provide valuable water quality notifications to customers. The 2020 annual report will include results from the additional testing as well as other important information for our customers.

All water, whether it be treated or untreated, can be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. Many of these contaminants are naturally occurring and are either harmless or beneficial at low concentrations. Others may be regulated by EPA to ensure protection for public health.
CAWCD tests for a wide range of constituents to inform water providers of the quality of water that they are receiving. In 2019, none of the primary constituents tested by CAWCD exceeded a typical range for CAP water (see summary table below and Appendix A). Just five contaminants were found to be above a level of “Non Detect” (see Detected Contaminants Table below) throughout the year. However, levels of these contaminants in CAP water were found to be signifantly lower than the Federal Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) and/or standards established by the State of Arizona.

2,4-D is one of the oldest and most widely available herbicides and defoliants in the world, having been commercially available since 1945. It can be found in numerous commercial lawn herbicide mixtures, and is widely used as a weedkiller on cereal crops, pastures, and orchards. Over 1,500 herbicide products contain 2,4-D as an active ingredient. 2,4-D was detected on just one occasion (May) and was 85 times lower than the Federal MCL.
Arsenic is a chemical element that occurs naturally in many minerals, usually in combination with sulfur and metals, but also as a pure elemental crystal. Arsenic is commonly found in groundwater throughout the southwestern United States. The primary use of arsenic is in alloys of lead (for example, in car batteries and ammunition). The Federal MCL for arsenic is 10 µg/L the highest level measured by CAP was 5.0 µg/L.
Hexavalent Chromium is a form of the metallic element chromium. Chromium is a naturally occurring element found in rocks, animals, plants, soil, and volcanic dust and gases. It comes in several different forms, including hexavalent chromium or chromium (VI). Hexavalent chromium can occur naturally in low levels, but is generally produced by industrial processes. Hexavalent chromium is widely used in electroplating, stainless steel production, leather tanning, textile manufacturing, and wood preservation. In heavy doses, inhaled hexavalent chromium is recognized as a human carcinogen, but levels found by CAP in Lake Havasu were just a fraction of the Federal MCL.
Perchlorate is a chemical compound that occurs in low levels naturally, but the majority of perchlorates are commercially produced salts. They are mainly used for propellants, exploiting properties as powerful oxidizing agents and to control static electricity in food packaging. Perchlorate contamination in food, water, and other parts of the environment has been studied in the U.S. because of its harmful effects on human health. Perchlorate was detected in Lake Pleasant on one occasion and it was at a level one-third of the Federal MCL.
Uranium occurs naturally in low concentrations of a few parts per million in soil, rock and water, and is commercially extracted from uranium-bearing minerals. Many contemporary uses of uranium exploit its unique nuclear properties for power and weapons. Most ingested uranium is excreted during digestion, but when inhaled by way of dust into the lungs, pose a more serious exposure hazard. However, levels found in the CAP System were 7 to 10 times lower than the Federal MCL.

The CAP system utilizes Lake Pleasant as a seasonal pump-storage reservoir. During a typical year, Colorado River water is pumped into the reservoir from October to May when water demands and electricity costs are lower. During the summer, when water demands and electricity costs are higher, water is released from the reservoir for customer deliveries. These schedules may be modified based on required maintenance of the system, as well as rainfall that impacts customer demand. In 2019, small releases were made during January and April to accomodate maintenance activities, while normal pumping occurred from late May to the end of August.
During summer months, the reservoir typically stratifies, with a thermocline developing at a depth of approximately 40-60 feet below the water surface (Appendix B). Although the intake portals at Waddell Dam are set at two different levels, CAP only utilizes the lower portals (elevation 1515) to best manage water quality and reduce taste and odor issues associated with anoxic water. This may seem counter-intuitive, as lower quality water is near the bottom of the reservoir (hypolimnion), but retaining the oxygen-rich epilimnetic water in the reservoir improves the overall quality of water to delivered to CAP customers.
LAKE PLEASANT OPERATIONS
12 | 2019 Water Quality Annual Report
TASTE AND ODOR RESEARCH PROGRAMMunicipal water treatment plants, which treat water supplies from the CAP and SRP systems, occasionally experience seasonal taste and odor episodes. Compounds produced by Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), such as MIB and geosim, are the suspected causes of the taste and odor problems. These compounds are found at extremely low levels and do not pose a human health hazard.
An ongoing cooperative monitoring program, led by Arizona State University (ASU), has provided a valuable long-term data set for compounds that may cause the taste and odor issues in the CAP and SRP systems. This includes measurements of MIB, Geosmin, Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC), UV254, and Total Dissolved Nitrogen (TDN).
This program publishes a monthly newsletter, which contains sampling results and a general discussion of the findings. A summary of the project, newsletters distributed from January 2006 – April 2014, and a final report are available at:
https://faculty.engineering.asu.edu/pwesterhoff/research/regional-water-quality-issues/regional-water-quality-newsletter/
Newsletters from 2016-2019 are available at:
https://wet.asu.edu/regional-water-quality/
ASU experienced technical difficulties in collecting, analyzing, and reporting data in 2019, so specific information is limited. However, municipalities have indicated that, similar to previous years, CAP water continues to be of excellent quality and does not contribute to significant levels of MIB and Geosmin.

The Colorado River provides domestic and industrial water to approximately 27 million people in the western United States and is used to irrigate approximately 4 million acres of land. However, salinity levels in the river water have historically been high, which can reduce crop yields, limit the choice of crops that can be grown, make the land unsuitable for agricultural purposes, and kill riparian vegetation.
In 1975, the seven Colorado River Basin states adopted a salinity standard for the Colorado River. That standard, which was approved by the EPA, is composed of numeric criteria for total dissolved solids and a plan of implementation to meet the criteria. Since the program’s implementation, salinity in the river has been reduced by approximately 100 mg/L. For CAP customers this translates to approximately 220,000 tons of salt that did not enter the CAP service area.
CAWCD participates with Arizona and the other Basin States and Federal Agencies in the implementation of the Program. CAWCD also works with the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Forum and the Forum’s technical workgroup to address funding and other issues associated with program implementation.
