What Makes Beverly Hills's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Beverly Hills, California, in Los Angeles County — one of the most famous cities in the world (Beverly Hills is globally recognized as the premier luxury residential and commercial destination in Los Angeles — the 90210 zip code, Rodeo Drive, the Beverly Hills Hotel, and the celebrity residential culture have made Beverly Hills one of the most internationally recognized place names in the world), home of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences headquarters (the global governing body for the Academy Awards), a wealthy and independent city entirely surrounded by the City of Los Angeles, home to some of the world's most expensive real estate, and a significant entertainment, finance, and fashion industry hub — draws its municipal water supply via the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). Water hardness in Beverly Hills measures 53.5 mg/L — classified as soft.
Beverly Hills's soft supply reflects the MWD State Water Project-dominated supply in the west Los Angeles County zone. The MWD SWP supply (Sierra Nevada snowmelt via the California Aqueduct — calcareous-poor, approximately 30–60 mg/L) dominates the Beverly Hills MWD allocation, with less Colorado River blending than east LA County communities. City of Beverly Hills applies minimal treatment to this already soft supply, producing the soft 53.5 mg/L.
With hardness at 53.5 mg/L, Beverly Hills residents enjoy soft water. City of Beverly Hills Water Division consistently delivers water meeting all California State Water Board and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.
Geology & Source: Mountain reservoir supply via the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California — the Los Angeles County west Beverly Hills corridor (MWD State Water Project (SWP) and Colorado River blend — the Beverly Hills zone typically dominated by the softer SWP supply; City of Beverly Hills Water distribution); soft supply at 53.5 mg/L in Los Angeles County.
