Pacific Beach draws from the same very hard, chloraminated San Diego municipal supply and sits within direct ocean exposure. Salt air is present year-round across the neighborhood. Standard fiberglass water treatment equipment corrodes faster here than it would inland. Pacific Beach's older housing stock, including the beach cottages and duplexes along Bayard Street and Oliver Avenue built in the 1950s and 1960s, can have original copper supply lines with solder joints that predate lead-free requirements.

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.
