FAQ
Additional Information On Sparks, Nevada Tap Water
Is Sparks tap water safe to drink?
Yes, the tap water in Sparks is generally considered safe to drink and meets all federal and state drinking water standards. The Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA), which supplies water to Sparks, sources its water primarily from the Truckee River, with additional groundwater wells as needed. According to the 2023 Water Quality Report, there were no violations for regulated contaminants. However, trace levels of substances like nitrate, arsenic, barium, and lead were detected—all well within safe regulatory limits. Disinfection byproducts such as total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids (HAA5) were also present but remained below EPA maximum contaminant levels. People with weakened immune systems or specific medical concerns should consult a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
Is Sparks tap water hard?
Yes, Sparks has hard water, with average hardness levels ranging from 130 to 300 parts per million (ppm) depending on the water source and time of year. According to TMWA, this level of hardness is considered hard to very hard. Hard water can lead to scale buildup on plumbing and appliances, and may reduce the effectiveness of soaps and detergents.
Is there PFAS in Sparks tap water?
As of the latest available testing, TMWA has not reported levels of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) that exceed EPA guidelines. However, PFAS are emerging contaminants, and the EPA is in the process of finalizing stricter maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for several PFAS compounds, including PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFNA, and GenX. Although Sparks water is currently in compliance, ongoing testing and regulation updates are expected, and residents concerned about PFAS may consider using a certified water filter designed to reduce these chemicals.
Does Sparks tap water have fluoride?
According to Sparks's water supplier, TMWA, fluoride is not added to the water supply.
Where does Sparks get its tap water?
The primary source of tap water in Sparks is the Truckee River, which originates from Lake Tahoe and flows through the Sierra Nevada into Nevada. TMWA supplements this surface water with groundwater wells, particularly during dry months. Water is treated at modern facilities using a multi-step process that includes filtration, disinfection, and fluoridation to ensure safety and taste. The aquifers in the region are replenished primarily by snowmelt and rainfall from the surrounding mountains.
Do I need a water softener or filter in Sparks, Nevada?
Because Sparks has hard to very hard water, installing a water softener can protect plumbing, extend the lifespan of appliances, and improve soap and detergent performance. Additionally, a home water filter such as a reverse osmosis system can improve taste and reduce trace contaminants such as lead, arsenic, and chlorine byproducts that may still be present after municipal treatment. A filtration system can also help address potential concerns about PFAS chemicals, which are increasingly found in water supplies across the country. For the most complete water solution, many Sparks homeowners choose a combined system that includes both softening and filtration, ensuring cleaner, better-tasting water throughout the home while protecting appliances and plumbing from mineral buildup.
