Sacramento water quality throughout the years

Now
Then

A vital resource in hot, dry California, water reaches Sacramento residents by way of the Sacramento and American rivers and groundwater sources. Today, the system’s 13 million-acre feet of water in 20 reservoirs and passes about 7.4 million-acre feet annually through its canals.

An hour south through the Central Valley lies Stockton, where Californians can trace their tap water back to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the Mokelumne River, along with wells located throughout the region. Modesto residents, less than 35 miles to the south, draw their drinking water equally from surface and groundwater sources, including 79 wells and the Modesto Reservoir.

Whether utilizing water from the ground or at the surface, consumers can face any number of imperfections in Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto tap water. As water travels through the ground or over the land, it picks up naturally occurring minerals and animal or human pollution. This often compromises Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto Water Quality, causing a musty odor or taste, especially after construction or lots of rain.

In California’s Central Valley, water management and protection have always been a top priority. Early inhabitants relied on the many natural resources, living, traveling, and hunting along the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers of the Stockton Delta.

The discovery of gold in 1848 at the nearby Sutter’s Fort quickly changed the region, bringing an influx of gold seekers looking to strike it rich. Brackish water in the Delta became a serious issue after the development of agriculture in the upper Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley. Then droughts between 1910 and 1940 increased salinity because of the reduction of freshwater inflows.

The growing issue of Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto water quality led to the construction of dams on Central Valley rivers to boost dry-season freshwater. This eventually became the Central Valley Project, California’s first major water system, mostly built between the 1930s and the 1960s.

The project provided irrigation and municipal water to Sacramento, Stockton, and Modesto by storing water in reservoirs in the north and transporting it south by way of canals, aqueducts, and plants.

Frequently asked questions

How clean is Sacramento tap water?

Sacramento tap water is regularly tested and maintained to meet or exceed all federal and state drinking water standards. The city’s 2024 Consumer Confidence Report confirms that most detected contaminants are well within safe limits, and the water is considered high quality for everyday use.

 

For businesses, water quality can sometimes be influenced by internal plumbing, especially in older buildings. While Sacramento’s municipal water is clean, aging pipes may affect taste or introduce trace contaminants.

Installing a Culligan Quench water cooler offers an extra layer of protection, enhances taste, and offers employees and customers access to reliable, high-quality drinking water.

Is Sacramento tap water safe to drink?

Yes, Sacramento tap water is safe to drink. The City of Sacramento 2024 Consumer Confidence Report confirms that water meets all regulatory standards, including limits set by the EPA.

Businesses in food service, healthcare, or office environments should note that older plumbing may introduce minor taste or odor issues. Point-of-use filtration systems can help improve the water quality delivered to employees and clients. Culligan Quench filtration technology provides an added layer of protection, removing potential contaminants and improving overall taste.

Is there PFAS in Sacramento water?

Yes, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have been detected in Sacramento’s water supply, though at levels below current EPA advisory limits. The 2024 Consumer Confidence Report provides details on PFAS testing and ongoing city efforts to monitor and reduce exposure.

For businesses, especially those in healthcare or food service, installing a Culligan Quench water filtration system can further minimize PFAS exposure and improve the taste and safety of drinking water for employees and clients.
