Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Blythe tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Blythe, no regulated PFAS were detected in EPA's 2024 testing; the lead 90th-percentile result was 5.5 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. BLYTHE - CITY OF (PWSID CA3310003) has a Purity Score of 65/100 (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 Blythe?
BLYTHE - CITY OF (PWS ID CA3310003) is the public water system on record for Blythe, California, serving about 9,735 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does Blythe get its drinking water?
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Blythe's water?
None of the 29 PFAS in EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-06-04 to 2024-12-03) was detected. "Not detected" means below the lab's reporting limit, not proven zero.
Is there lead in Blythe's tap water?
BLYTHE - CITY OF's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2025) was 5.5 µg/L, below the 15 µg/L action level. That figure comes from sampled homes; lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so only a test at your tap tells you what you drink.
What does the latest Blythe water report show?
PurityMap's current record for Blythe holds 32 findings: 2 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.

Methodology: how we analyze water. Prepared with AI assistance and reviewed by the PurityMap Editorial Team before publication.
Something off with your water's smell, color or taste?
Start with the hot-or-cold tap check. Where Blythe reported something related, it's shown below.
- Rotten-egg smell
- Cloudy or milky water
- Chlorine smell
- Brown or yellow water
- Metallic taste
Lead at Blythe: 5.5 µg/L (90th percentile, 2025 monitoring period). Lead has no taste, so a taste neither shows nor rules it out.
Copper: 2.1 mg/L (90th percentile, 2020–2022 monitoring period). The federal action level is 1.3 mg/L.
