You know, I don't know.

I'll check it later when I get to the store.

I don't think its very high though - most of SoCal has pretty good water. I get the occasional farmer or other urban dweller who had a well, and I call tell the difference right off.


Depends where in southern california you are.

Colorado Water is high is TDS typically 500 to 700 mg/L

Northern California Water (State Project Water is better), typically around 300 mg/L.

The LA water from the Owens Valley is very good. (about 150 mg/L TDS)

Some of the well water can be very good or very bad. The goundwater in the Chino / Ontairo / Corona area is very high in nitrates from all the cows in the Norco area. Normally it has to be treated (ion exchange and/or reverse osmosis)  before distribution.

In comparison, most surface water from the east is around 100 mg/L.

No, I just keep forgetting to get my little cheat sheet from the store. Sorry.

Let's go for around 300 most of the time. We get water from lakes around here, and they just switched to wells about three weeks ago. I can always tell because it's the only time we sell Spa Up.

Oxnard, a larger city next door, gets water from Northern Cal via the Aquaduct. They have better water generally.
