FAQ
Additional Information On Truckee, California Tap Water
Is Truckee tap water safe to drink?
Truckee, CA tap water is technically safe to drink, but it has been found to contain several contaminants that exceed health guidelines set by organizations like the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Arsenic, hexavalent chromium, disinfection byproducts (like bromodichloromethane), and nitrates have all been detected at levels that may pose long-term health risks, including cancer and organ damage. Mercury contamination from historical mining activities is also a concern, particularly in waterways feeding the local supply. Though legally "safe," these contaminants raise serious concerns for residents relying on untreated tap water.
Is Truckee tap water hard?
Yes, Truckee has moderately hard water, with average hardness levels around 64.6 mg/L (or about 3.8 grains per gallon), though some sources report seasonal variations ranging from 130 to 300 parts per million (ppm), which would be considered hard to very hard. According to TMWA, this level of hardness can lead to scale buildup on plumbing and appliances and may reduce the effectiveness of soaps and detergents. Residents may also notice soap scum, spotty dishes, and reduced lathering with shampoos and soaps.
Is there PFAS in Truckee tap water?
Recent sampling conducted at Truckee water treatment plants detected the presence of PFAS chemicals. The EPA is in the process of setting new MCL (maximum contaminant levels), which range from 4 to 10 parts per trillion. In numbers, that would be 0.00000000004 for PFOA and PFOS, individually to 0.0000000001 for PFNA, PFHxS, and HFPO-DA (GenX Chemicals). As you can see in the water quality report, many samples do not meet these standards. Click here to learn more about our whole house PFAS filtration systems.
