PFAS Removal in Lakeside, CA.
PFAS Removal for Lakeside homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. PFAS, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a family of synthetic chemicals that do not break down in the environment or the human body. The EPA set enforceable drinking water limits for six PFAS compounds in 2024, citing research from the NIH's National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and other agencies linking long-term exposure to health concerns.
What pfas removal looks like in Lakeside
PFAS contamination is a concern in both municipal and private well sources across East County. Municipal customers in Lakeside receive water through the regional distribution system that draws on imported sources tracked under EPA's 2024 maximum contaminant limits. Well customers in El Monte Valley and Eucalyptus Hills have private sources where PFAS testing requires a dedicated well analysis. Our RO systems include certified media to reduce PFAS to EPA limits. The free in-home test is the starting point, and we can discuss expanded well testing options for customers specifically concerned about PFAS exposure.

What does the EPA PFAS rule actually require?
In 2024, the EPA finalized the first federal enforceable limits on PFAS in drinking water, setting maximum contaminant levels for PFOA, PFOS, and four other compounds. Public water systems are required to test for these and take action if levels exceed the limits. The rule does not cover private wells, which are the homeowner's responsibility.
