A small town, one residential neighborhood and mixed water

Colma is the smallest place in this county’s service area, with 1,385 residents and 615 housing units. The General Plan lists five planning areas: Commercial Core, Mission Road, El Camino Real Corridor, Sterling Park and Hillside Boulevard, and says most of the town’s residential uses are in the small Sterling Park neighborhood, with others on Mission Road. Federal housing estimates show 471 occupied homes, 220 of them rented, a median year built of 1990 and 62 units from 1939 or earlier. About a third of units are detached houses, 18 percent are in larger buildings of five or more, and 11 are mobile homes.

Cal Water’s South San Francisco system supplies Colma, and its 2025 report shows why the tap varies. Purchased San Francisco regional water measures 8.1 to 112 parts per million of hardness, averaging 62, roughly 3.6 gpg, while the system’s local well water averages 384, about 22.5 grains. The report prints no blended figure, so the number at a given address depends on the mix. Hardness is dissolved calcium and magnesium, and the lasting advice is a thorough rinse whichever water is running.

The county’s hazard plan says Colma’s climate is strongly influenced by the nearby coast, with moderate temperatures all year and periods of fog and wind in spring and summer. At the weather service’s oceanside station, about five miles away, the July high averages near 62 F and the January low near 46 F. Cool air slows drying; the Carpet and Rug Institute gives 6 to 12 hours as the usual range, and a fan helps.

Allison C.October 5, 2026
I particularly liked the way the lead cleaner described the PH balance of the solutions that they were using on our carpets. The acidic neutralizing rinse makes sure the floor doesn’t feel crunchy or sticky when it is dry. That extra step means our floors are very silky and totally residue-free.

My kids have turned the giant living room ottoman into a trampoline and it's forever soiled with imprints. Steam cleaning the hefty cloth removed all the dark grime and restored the original bright blue hue. The furniture which is the focus is clean and the living space appears a lot tidier today.

Thick outdoor seats were covered in tree algae and bird poop. Power-washings of the tough material killed any dirt from outside. We are pleased to be hosting barbecues from our clean chairs again.

Questions from Colma

Which water supplies Colma, and is it hard?

Cal Water’s South San Francisco system serves Colma. Its 2025 report gives 62 milligrams per liter for purchased San Francisco water and 384 for local wells, with no blended figure, so the tap depends on the mix. Rinse well in any case.

The county hazard plan reports fog and wind in spring and summer, and the oceanside station’s July high averages near 62 F. That cool air means drying runs to the 6 to 12 hours the Carpet and Rug Institute gives as usual, so run a fan.
