WATER-QUALITY DATA COLLECTED TO DETERMINE THE PRESENCE, SOURCE, AND CONCENTRATION OF LEAD IN THE DRINKING WATER SUPPLY AT PIPE SPRING NATIONAL MONUMENT, NORTHERN ARIZONA (2013)

Pipe Spring National Monument in northern Arizona contains historically significant springs. The groundwater source of these springs is the same aquifer that presently is an important source of drinking water for the Pipe Spring National Monument facilities, the Kaibab Paiute Tribe, and the 
community of Moccasin.The National Park Service and the Kaibab Paiute 
Tribe were concerned that the local groundwater system that provides the domestic water supply might be contaminated with lead. Lead concentrations in water samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from three springs, five wells, two water storage tanks, and one faucet were less than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency action level for treatment technique. Lead concentrations of rock samples representative 
of the rock units in which the local groundwater resides were less than 22 parts per million.
