FAQ
Additional Information On Fernley, Nevada Tap Water
Is Fernley tap water safe to drink?
Yes, the tap water in Fernley is generally considered safe to drink and meets federal and state drinking water standards. The City of Fernley sources its drinking water from local groundwater wells, which are treated and tested regularly. According to the 2024 Water Quality Report, there were no violations for regulated contaminants. However, trace levels of substances like arsenic, nitrate, uranium, and total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) were detected—some of which exceed the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) health guidelines. For example, arsenic levels were over 1,000 times higher than EWG’s recommended limit, though still within legal limits. Residents with weakened immune systems or specific health concerns should consult a medical professional for individualized guidance.
Is Fernley tap water hard?
Yes, Fernley has hard water, primarily due to its groundwater sources. It has a hardness of 15 grains per gallon, which is equivalent to approximately 190 mg/L as CaCO3. While hardness levels can vary, water in Fernley typically contains elevated levels of calcium and magnesium, which can lead to scale buildup, reduce soap efficiency, and impact plumbing and appliances. A water softener is often recommended for households in the area.
Is there PFAS in Fernley tap water?
Yes, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have been detected in Fernley’s water supply. According to EWG data, PFOS was found at 5.60 ppt, nearly 19 times higher than their health guideline of 0.3 ppt, and above the EPA’s proposed limit of 4 ppt. While not yet a federal violation, this data underscores growing concerns about long-term exposure risks, and many Fernley residents are opting for home filtration systems certified to reduce PFAS.
Does Fernley tap water have fluoride?
No, fluoride is not added to Fernley’s water supply. Any fluoride present occurs naturally from the surrounding geology. If fluoride intake is a concern (especially for young children), consider discussing supplementation with a dentist or healthcare provider.
Where does Fernley get its tap water?
Fernley’s water comes from local groundwater wells, not surface water sources like rivers or lakes. These wells tap into underground aquifers that are replenished by rainfall and snowmelt from the surrounding basin and range terrain. Water is treated at local facilities that include steps like disinfection, sediment removal, and corrosion control, ensuring it meets regulatory standards before reaching homes and businesses.
Do I need a water softener or filter in Fernley, Nevada?
Because Fernley relies on groundwater, which tends to be mineral-rich, a water softener can significantly improve the quality of your tap water. It helps prevent scale buildup, protects plumbing, and improves soap effectiveness. A home filtration system—like reverse osmosis—can also help reduce contaminants such as arsenic, chromium-6, PFAS, and disinfection byproducts. Many Fernley homeowners choose a combined system to address both hardness and contamination, giving them cleaner, better-tasting water throughout the home.
