Water Quality in Del Mar – Know What’s in Your Water & How to Make It Safer
Clean Water Isn’t Just About Clarity — It’s About What You Can’t See.
Living in Del Mar means access to incredible coastal beauty — but when it comes to water quality, what flows from your faucet may not be as pristine as the views.
At Plumbing Plus of Poway, we’ve worked with hundreds of Del Mar homeowners who were shocked to learn what’s hiding in their tap water — even from the municipal supply. That’s why we offer professional water testing, filtration, and purification solutions tailored specifically to homes in Del Mar.

💧 What’s In Del Mar’s Water?
Del Mar’s water comes from the San Diego County Water Authority, primarily supplied by imported sources like the Colorado River and Northern California rivers.
According to the latest water quality reports, the water is safe per federal guidelines — but that doesn’t mean it’s ideal for drinking, bathing, or long-term health.
Common Contaminants Found in Del Mar Water:
-
Chlorine & Chloramine: Used to disinfect water, but causes dryness, irritation, and poor taste
-
Trihalomethanes (THMs): Byproducts of chlorine disinfection that are linked to long-term health risks
-
Hard Minerals (Calcium & Magnesium): Responsible for scale buildup, appliance wear, and dry skin
-
Fluoride: Added for dental health but controversial in high concentrations
-
Lead, Arsenic, Nitrates (in some older homes): Leached from aging pipes or plumbing systems
-
PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”): Found in trace levels in many water supplies across the U.S.
