Forever Chemicals In Tahoe City Drinking Water
Polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), also known as 'Forever Chemicals' have been found in the tap water of various locations across the United States, including parts of California, there's a valid concern about potential exposure and its long-term effects on public health. Monitoring and managing PFAS contamination in water sources is crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
PFAS are persistent chemicals that can accumulate in the human body over time through exposure to contaminated water, food, or air. These substances have been linked to various health issues, including liver damage, immune system disruption, thyroid disorders, and an increased risk of certain cancers.

FAQ
Additional Information On Tahoe City Tap Water
Is Sparks tap water safe to drink?
Yes, the tap water in Tahoe City is generally considered safe to drink and meets all federal and state drinking water regulations. The Tahoe City Public Utility District (TCPUD) supplies water to most residents, drawing primarily from deep groundwater wells fed by Sierra snowmelt. According to the most recent Water Quality Report, no violations for regulated contaminants were reported. Trace levels of naturally occurring elements like arsenic, iron, and manganese may be present but remain within safe limits. Disinfection byproducts, such as total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids (HAA5), have also been detected at levels below EPA maximum contaminant levels. Residents with specific health concerns should consult a medical professional for tailored advice.
Is Tahoe City tap water hard?
Yes, Tahoe City’s water tends to be moderately hard due to the region’s naturally mineral-rich groundwater. Average hardness levels vary but generally range between 50 and 150 parts per million (ppm), which can lead to some scale buildup in plumbing and appliances over time. While not as extreme as other parts of California, this hardness may still affect the performance of soaps and detergents.
Is there PFAS in Tahoe City tap water?
As of the most recent testing, TCPUD has not reported PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) levels that exceed current health advisory limits. However, PFAS are emerging contaminants of concern across the U.S., and regulatory standards are evolving. The EPA’s finalized national limits for six PFAS compounds, including PFOA and PFOS, may prompt additional monitoring. Concerned residents may want to consider using a certified water filtration system that is specifically designed to reduce PFAS.
Does Tahoe City tap water have fluoride?
No, TCPUD does not add fluoride to Tahoe City’s drinking water. Any fluoride present is naturally occurring and typically appears in very low concentrations. If fluoride supplementation is a concern, especially for dental health, residents should consult with a healthcare provider.
Where does Tahoe City get its tap water?
In 2023, about 99.85% of the system’s water supply came from the Elm Street Well, while the remaining 0.15% was sourced through a new interconnection with the McKinney-Quail System. All drinking water provided to the system is classified as groundwater.
Do I need a water softener or filter in Tahoe City, California?
While Tahoe City’s water isn’t extremely hard, many homeowners still choose to install water softeners to reduce mineral buildup on fixtures and extend the lifespan of appliances. Filtration systems—such as under-sink filters or whole-home reverse osmosis systems—can also improve taste and reduce trace elements like iron, arsenic, and disinfection byproducts. For added peace of mind, especially with rising concerns about PFAS, a combined water softening and filtration system can help provide cleaner, better-tasting water throughout the home.
