Guatay sits at 3,500 feet with significantly higher rainfall than lowland San Diego. Private wells here draw from a wetter mountain aquifer that can carry sediment, coliform bacteria after wet events, moderate hardness, and occasionally elevated iron depending on well depth and local geology. Guatay's mountain aquifer is relatively clean in terms of heavy metals compared to the desert geology zones to the east, but older well casings and any galvanized pipe in the distribution system inside the home can introduce lead and iron at the tap.

Microplastics have been found in municipal water supplies in numerous studies. San Diego has not published specific tap water microplastic data, but the research suggests treated municipal water broadly contains detectable microplastic particles. The health implications are still being studied. What we can do is install certified filtration that reduces particulate contamination at the tap.

A water test is the starting point. Our free in-home test covers common parameters. For a full metals panel including lead, arsenic, chromium, and others, we recommend sending a sample to an independent certified lab. We can advise on which tests make sense based on your plumbing age, local distribution system, and any utility advisories.
