The Proof
Why Do Glendale
Homeowners LOVE Us?
They have professional courteous drivers that are in and out in no time to change out my filters. In the SCV it’s a must to protect our appliances from hard water failure and at the same time have clean soft filtered drinking water.
The technician was awesome and solved our issue quickly and perfectly. He told us exactly what we need to do moving forward so as to get plenty of filtered drinking water all the time.
I have been a Culligan customer for over 30 years and have always been pleased with their service. I would certainly recommend them to anyone needing water service.
Frequently Asked Questions for Water in Glendale, California
Is Glendale tap water safe to drink?
Glendale’s tap water meets state and federal safety standards, but testing shows contaminants like chromium VI (2.9–8.7 ppb), PFOA (up to 13 ppt), PFOS (up to 13 ppt), and uranium (2 pCi/L). While these levels do not exceed current state limits, they surpass Environmental Working Group (EWG) guidelines. Home filtration systems, like reverse osmosis, can reduce these contaminants.
Is Glendale’s water hard?
Yes. Glendale’s water is considered very hard, with hardness levels ranging from 350–580 ppm (20–34 gpg) depending on the water source. This can cause limescale, dry skin, and reduced appliance efficiency.
Does Glendale’s water contain PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)?
Yes. Glendale water tests detected PFOA (up to 13 ppt), PFOS (up to 13 ppt), and PFHxS (up to 21 ppt). While these levels are under EPA limits, they exceed stricter health guidelines set by the EWG.
Does Glendale add fluoride to its water?
Yes, Glendale adds fluoride at an average of 0.8 ppm, which meets state and federal guidelines to help reduce tooth decay.

Where does Glendale get its water?
In 2024, 62.1% of Glendale’s water was imported, 32.6% came from groundwater, and 5.3% from recycled water. Imported water is sourced from the Metropolitan Water District, while local wells draw from groundwater basins.
What is the pH level of Glendale water?
Glendale’s water pH ranges from 6.7 to 8.4, depending on the source, which is neutral to slightly alkaline.
Should I use a water filter or softener in Glendale?
Yes. Due to high hardness and the presence of PFAS and heavy metals, whole-house water filtration systems paired with water softeners are recommended for many households.
Does Glendale water have high total dissolved solids (TDS)?
Yes, Glendale’s TDS levels range from 550 to 900 ppm, which can affect taste and indicate high mineral content. Reverse osmosis systems are effective for reducing TDS.
