In East Bay’s Pleasanton, tainted water tapped to meet peak demand
Across the Bay Area, reservoirs are brimming, snowmelt is plentiful, and drought restrictions have ended. Yet in Pleasanton, some residents are worried that, even with all that water, there won’t be a safe drop to drink.
So far, the city is sticking with its decision, emphasizing that the well water is safe, amid a growing chorus of concerned residents. Many are now wondering if their water will be safe to drink this summer. Another wrinkle? An ongoing negotiation between the EPA and the state could reset the maximum allowable concentration of PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, in drinking water. Under the new, stricter criteria, water from the city’s two wells could fail.
