Hard Water Notice from California Water Service Company

A message from Cal Water:

A Santa Clara Valley Water District system improvement project could affect the hardness of the water Cal Water's Los Altos customers receive January 11-19, 2016. As a result of the project, Los Altos customers will be receiving groundwater from our wells, which is harder than the water you usually receive.

Hard water is caused by naturally occurring minerals and does not pose a health risk; however, it can cause spots on glasses and fixtures. You can minimize spotting by hand washing dishes or towel drying them immediately after the dishwasher rinse cycle. If you already have spots on your glasses, soak them in white vinegar for 5 to 10 minutes.

For additional questions, contact Cal Water’s Customer Center at (650) 917-0152.
