Frequently Asked Questions for Water in Palmdale, California.
Is Palmdale tap water safe to drink?
Yes, Palmdale’s tap water meets all state and federal safety standards. However, contaminants such as arsenic (up to 3 ppb), chromium (up to 20 ppb), nitrates (up to 2 ppm), and uranium (up to 4 pCi/L) have been detected. While these levels are within regulatory limits, they may exceed Environmental Working Group (EWG) health guidelines.
Is Palmdale’s water hard?
Yes, Palmdale water is classified as moderately hard to hard, with average hardness around 5.9 grains per gallon (gpg)and ranges up to 6.9 gpg. Hard water can cause mineral buildup on fixtures and reduce appliance efficiency.
Does Palmdale’s water contain PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)?
Recent monitoring did not detect PFAS compounds such as PFBS, PFHxA, or PFPeA above regulatory thresholds. However, because PFAS are persistent in the environment, many residents consider reverse osmosis or advanced carbon filtration systems for additional protection.
Does Palmdale add fluoride to its water?
Yes, Palmdale’s water contains fluoride at levels between 0.1–0.2 ppm, which is within both federal and state guidelines.

- TTHMs (up to 75 μg/L)

Where does Palmdale get its water?

What is the pH level of Palmdale water?
The pH of Palmdale’s water ranges from 6.8 to 8.4, which is considered neutral to slightly alkaline.
Should I use a water filter or softener in Palmdale?

Does Palmdale water have a high total dissolved solids (TDS) level?
Yes, Palmdale’s TDS levels range from 150 to 470 ppm, which is within California’s standards but may affect taste and clarity. Reverse osmosis systems are recommended to reduce TDS.
