Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Artesia tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Artesia, PFOS 13 ng/L was measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. GSWC - ARTESIA (PWSID CA1910004) has a Purity Score of 57/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.
Who provides tap water in Artesia?
GSWC - ARTESIA (PWS ID CA1910004) is the public water system on record for Artesia, California, serving about 50,415 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does Artesia get its drinking water?
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Artesia's water?
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2023-01-19 to 2024-12-04), PFOS was measured at 13 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFHxS was detected below its limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Is there lead in Artesia's tap water?
Lead is not in Artesia's current published record. Lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so a certified home test is the way to know yours.
What does the latest Artesia water report show?
PurityMap's current record for Artesia holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference and 29 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

Something off with your water's smell, color or taste?
Start with the hot-or-cold tap check. Where GSWC reported something related, it's shown below.
- Rotten-egg smell
- Cloudy or milky water
- Chlorine smell
- Brown or yellow water
- Metallic taste
Lead at GSWC: not detected (90th percentile, 2023–2025 monitoring period). Lead has no taste, so a taste neither shows nor rules it out.
