La Mesa water · what's in your tap

What's in La Mesa's tap water?

In La Mesa, water comes from Helix Water District. Colorado River water is naturally high in calcium and magnesium, so most taps here test hard to very hard. That is what leaves white crust on faucets, spots on glasses, and scale inside water heaters.

Main source

Mostly imported Colorado River and Northern California water

Typical hardness

Hard to very hard

Disinfectant

Chlorine or chloramine

Exact numbers vary by address and season. Your water bill shows which supplier serves you, and every supplier publishes an annual water quality report with its hardness readings.

What we usually recommend for La Mesa homes

Most homes from the 1950s through the 1980s were built without a softener loop, so we tie in at the main line where water enters the house, usually near the garage or front hose bib. Our standard softener-and-carbon system fits most of these homes. If a drain or salt tank isn't practical, our salt-free conditioner + carbon tank is the alternative.
