Lakesider Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I read somewhere that lower and upper Chula Vista have potable water. They also have their own Neighborhood water purification system. The question is if the system is reliable enough for one to be able to drink the water from the tap. How safe is it? Any thoughts and opinion from people who live in Chula Vista? Thanks in advance for responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I cook with it, but I drink bottled water, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunFan Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Their supply is from two wells. The water is not treated other than basic automated chlorination. The chlorine levels are measured twice daily. Every quarter the water is lab tested by a ConAgua approved lab in Guadalajara - fecal, metals, bacteria, etc.. I've been drinking the water from the tap for 4 1/2 years. Just had my annual physical and other than glowing in the dark, I'm healthy as a horse. The only regret is using such great water for general household use - showering, cleaning, irrigation. SunFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunFan Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I forgot to mention. Other than the rare power failure we also get water 24X7X365. The distribution system is gravity fed so it's only the odd resident who bothers with a pressure system for something like an irrigation system.

loumorel Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I've been drinking the water straight from the tap here for ten years. Have never had a problem. It's one of the primary perks of living in this great community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
