Poway runs hot inland summers with routine highs above 100°F. Municipal water is very hard. The "City in the Country" character means a meaningful share of residential and equestrian parcels on the eastern foothills run private wells that carry iron, hardness, and occasionally sulfur from the same aquifer systems that serve the broader North County inland region. Poway well-water customers on the eastern parcel corridors face the possibility of dissolved lead from older interior plumbing, and both municipal and well customers can be exposed to microplastics that pass through standard treatment.

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.
