Water softener service in Golden Valley
Water treatment help for Golden Valley, the spread-out community west of Kingman along State Route 68.
Golden Valley is an unincorporated census-designated place about 10 miles west of Kingman on State Route 68, roughly halfway to Bullhead City. It had 8,801 residents in 2020 and sits lower than Kingman, at about 2,700 feet. Lots are large and many are rural, so water arrangements differ from one property to the next.
Where does Golden Valley water come from?
Part of the community is served by the Golden Valley Improvement District, which Mohave County Public Works runs and which maintains its own wells and distribution lines. The district also sells hauled water from a standpipe. Other homes have private wells or haul water to a tank. The district's dependence on wells was clear in May 2021, when a broken 1,500-foot well left about 500 Golden Valley homes without water for several days.
What does that mean for treatment?
- District customers can ask Mohave County Public Works for water quality information and test at the tap for hardness.
- Private well owners are responsible for their own testing. A lab test for hardness, arsenic and nitrate is the place to start.
- Haul-tank homes often benefit from a sediment filter ahead of a softener, and the tank itself should be kept clean.
Common jobs
Softener installs on homes that have never had one, outdoor units protected from summer heat, and under-sink reverse osmosis for drinking water on wells.
Common questions
Who provides water in Golden Valley?
It depends on the property. The Golden Valley Improvement District, run by Mohave County Public Works, serves part of the area. Other homes use private wells or hauled water.
Should I test my Golden Valley well before buying a softener?
Yes. A lab test shows hardness and anything else, like arsenic or nitrate, that a softener alone won't fix.
