The Proof
Why Do Lancaster
Homeowners LOVE Us?
Culligan has 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 Lancaster, California.
Is Lancaster tap water safe to drink?
Lancaster’s tap water meets state and federal water safety standards, but testing shows contaminants such as arsenic (3.1–3.7 ppb), hexavalent chromium (6.7–11 ppb), nitrates (1.1–2.2 ppm), and disinfection byproducts like TTHMs (up to 170 ppb). While these levels comply with regulatory limits, they may exceed stricter Environmental Working Group (EWG) guidelines.
Is Lancaster’s water hard?
Yes, Lancaster has hard water with an average hardness of 86 ppm (about 5 grains per gallon). This can lead to scale buildup on faucets, soap inefficiency, and dry skin or hair.
Does Lancaster’s water contain PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)?
According to new EPA regulations finalized in April 2024, six PFAS chemicals have strict maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). While Lancaster’s latest report does not list PFAS exceedances, homeowners concerned about PFAS exposure should consider reverse osmosis or advanced carbon filtration, as these are proven to remove PFAS.
Does Lancaster add fluoride to its water?
Yes, Lancaster’s water contains 0.32–0.48 ppm of fluoride, which meets both state and federal recommendations to help prevent tooth decay.
What other contaminants are in Lancaster’s water?
The most recent water quality report detected:
- Arsenic (up to 3.7 ppb)
- Hexavalent Chromium (up to 11 ppb)
- Nitrates (up to 2.2 ppm)
- Copper (0.09 ppm)
- Lead (not detected)
- TTHMs (up to 170 ppb)

Where does Lancaster get its water?

What is the pH level of Lancaster water?
The pH of Lancaster’s water ranges from 6.7 to 8.5, which is neutral to slightly alkaline.
Should I use a water filter or softener in Lancaster?
Yes, due to hard water and contaminants such as TTHMs, arsenic, and chromium, many Lancaster residents install whole-house water filters, reverse osmosis systems, and softeners to improve water quality and appliance longevity.
Does Lancaster water have a high total dissolved solids (TDS) level?
Lancaster’s TDS ranges between 280 and 370 ppm, which is within state limits but can affect taste and water clarity. Reverse osmosis is recommended to lower TDS levels.
