Pleasanton's Water Sources

Zone 7 Water Agency, the Valley’s water wholesaler, provides wholesale treated water to four major Valley water retailers, delivers untreated water to a number of agricultural customers, and monitors flood control measures and coordinates groundwater management resources in the Tri-Valley area. Approximately 80% of Pleasanton’s water is purchased from Zone 7 and is comprised of treated surface water blended with some local groundwater. The remaining 20% comes from local groundwater pumped from wells owned and operated by the City of Pleasanton. All water sources are disinfected and fluoridated before delivery to our customers.

Addressing PFAS in the City of Pleasanton

PFOA and PFOS are fluorinated organic chemicals that are part of a larger group of chemicals referred to as per- and poly-fluoalkyl substances (PFAS). PFOA and PFOS have been extensively produced in the United States since the 1940s. These manmade substances have been synthesized for water and lipid resistance and used in products such as carpets, clothing, fabrics for furniture, paper packaging for food, non-stick cookware, and fire-retarding foam. Between 2000 and 2002, PFOS was voluntarily phased out of production in the U.S. by its primary manufacturer.
