People also ask about Burbank-city, Water Dept., CA's water
+Is Burbank-city, Water Dept., CA tap water safe to drink in 2024?
The 2024 Consumer Confidence Report for the Burbank-city, Water Dept., CA water utility lists 7 contaminants at or above the federal limit: Strontium, 1,2,3-TCP, Pce, Tce, Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid, PFOA, and PFOS. Whether that means the water is "unsafe" depends on which contaminant, how long the exposure, and individual health factors. The table on this page shows the measured value, the federal threshold, and the regulated statistic used for compliance.
+What contaminants are in Burbank-city, Water Dept., CA tap water?
138 contaminants were measured in Burbank-city, Water Dept., CA's 2024 Consumer Confidence Report, spanning other, metals, and pfas ("forever chemicals"). 91 have an enforceable federal limit; the rest are detected but unregulated. Every measured value, in the utility's own units, is on this page.
+Which contaminants exceed federal limits in Burbank-city, Water Dept., CA tap water?
7 contaminants in Burbank-city, Water Dept., CA's 2024 report sit at or above the federal limit: Strontium (460.0× the limit); 1,2,3-TCP (41.7× the limit); Pce (9.8× the limit); Tce (5.0× the limit); Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (4.5× the limit); PFOA (2.8× the limit); PFOS (1.4× the limit). The EPA enforces these limits against the regulated reporting statistic — typically a running annual average or 90th percentile — not a one-off sample spike.
