Pasadena has one of the most diverse housing stocks in LA County. Nearly 30% of homes were built before 1940, including Craftsman bungalows, Spanish colonials, and Victorian estates in neighborhoods like Oak Knoll and Bungalow Heaven. Those older homes often still run on galvanized supply lines and clay sewer laterals. The city sits over the Raymond Basin aquifer, and the local groundwater ranges from hard to very hard depending on the source well.

Water Hardness
very hard
Water Source
Pasadena Water and Power draws about 40% from Raymond Basin groundwater wells and 60% from imported Metropolitan Water District supply. Hardness varies widely depending on which wells are active.
What This Means for Your Plumbing
Pasadena's water hardness ranges dramatically (100-370 PPM) depending on your neighborhood and which wells are active. Homes in east Pasadena near the foothills often get harder water from Raymond Basin wells, accelerating scale in water heaters and corroding older galvanized pipes. Pre-1940 Craftsman homes in Bungalow Heaven and Historic Highlands are especially vulnerable.
Contaminants of Note
Chromium-6 detected in some Raymond Basin wells
Perchlorate monitored in groundwater sources
