PFAS Removal in Borrego Springs, CA.
PFAS Removal for Borrego Springs homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. PFAS, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a family of synthetic chemicals that do not break down in the environment or the human body. The EPA set enforceable drinking water limits for six PFAS compounds in 2024, citing research from the NIH's National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and other agencies linking long-term exposure to health concerns.
What pfas removal looks like in Borrego Springs
Borrego Springs private wells are not subject to EPA public water system PFAS reporting requirements, so the responsibility for testing and treatment rests with the homeowner. The area's historical agricultural use and golf course irrigation activity are worth factoring into the conversation, as PFAS compounds in certain herbicides and surfactants have been linked to groundwater contamination in agricultural zones. Our free in-home water test screens for indicators, and where results support it, a point-of-use reverse osmosis system at the kitchen tap provides certified PFAS reduction to below the EPA 2024 limits for drinking and cooking water.

Borrego Springs is a desert community at 590 feet in the Anza-Borrego Desert with summer highs above 110 degrees, only 5-8 inches of annual rainfall, and hard, mineral-rich groundwater drawn from a deep desert aquifer. Total dissolved solids (TDS) are significantly higher here than anywhere else in the county, and arsenic and nitrates are worth testing for given the geology and historical agricultural use. Borrego Springs private wells are not subject to EPA public water system PFAS reporting requirements, so the responsibility for testing and treatment rests with the homeowner.
Does San Diego water have PFAS?

We review publicly available water quality reports for your district during the free in-home water test consultation and discuss what additional independent testing can show if you want a full picture.
What does the EPA PFAS rule actually require?
In 2024, the EPA finalized the first federal enforceable limits on PFAS in drinking water, setting maximum contaminant levels for PFOA, PFOS, and four other compounds. Public water systems are required to test for these and take action if levels exceed the limits. The rule does not cover private wells, which are the homeowner's responsibility.
