San Diego water · what's in your tap

What's in San Diego's tap water?

In San Diego, water comes from the City of San Diego Public Utilities Department for most of the city. Colorado River water picks up a lot of calcium and magnesium on its way to San Diego, so City of San Diego water is very hard by the USGS scale (over 180 mg/L). Chloramine is also why the tap water can taste or smell a little like a pool.

Main source

Imported Colorado River and Northern California water, plus local reservoir runoff

Typical hardness

Very hard

Disinfectant

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.

San Diego has everything from older neighborhoods without a softener loop to newer homes with one pre-plumbed in the garage, so we look at your setup first.
