The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality warned Johnson Utilities’ customers in Pinal County late Friday that high levels of nitrates in water made it unsafe for infants to drink.
The statement, issued about 5 p.m., told customers not to give infants under 6 months old any tap water or use it in infant formula. It was issued, according to a spokeswoman, because Johnson Utilities had not contacted ADEQ or responded to agency representatives’ inquiries about whether the company had notified its customers about the water-quality concern.
