Spots on glasses or a chlorine taste in Salida? That’s hard water and city disinfectant, and both are fixable.
Salida is unincorporated, northwest of Modesto along the Kiernan corridor, and most addresses get water from the City of Modesto’s Salida system. Some edge parcels are on private wells, so check your bill. On the City system, the 2025 report shows hardness averaging 199 ppm (parts per million), with a range from 33 to 388 ppm as the source mix shifts.
Chlorine is the other everyday complaint. The Salida report shows a chlorine residual averaging 1.0 mg/L, so the shower smell and coffee taste are consistent. Nitrate averaged 4.08 ppm (up to 8.7), and 1,2,3-TCP (trichloropropane, a contaminant linked to past farm fumigant use) was low at 0.23 ppt on average.
