Small buildings, a larger fire zone and a groundwater plant offline

San Clemente’s median home was built in 1983, with 44 percent of its 27,058 units dating from 1979 or earlier, 31 percent from 1980 to 1999 and 26 percent from 2000 on. Fifty-seven percent are detached houses, and 21 percent sit in 2-to-9 unit buildings, a larger share than the buildings of 10 or more together. Renters hold 8,163 of the 24,350 occupied homes, 34 percent.

The city’s water is normally a blend of imported Metropolitan water and its own groundwater, with water from the Baker plant of Irvine Ranch Water District added since 2017. In 2025 the city’s groundwater plant was offline for rehabilitation, so groundwater was not a source. The imported water measured 14 grains per gallon of hardness and the Baker water 17, both very hard on the USGS scale. Talega and parts of north San Clemente are served by other districts, so check your bill.

The Laguna Beach weather station averages a July high of 79.5 F. The state’s recommended 2025 maps show 4,864 acres of San Clemente as Very High fire hazard, 1,915 as High and 835 as Moderate, up from 2,876 Very High acres in the 2007 to 2011 maps.

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 San Clemente

Is San Clemente’s tap water hard?

Its source waters are. The city’s 2025 report lists imported Metropolitan water at 14 grains per gallon and Baker plant water at 17, both very hard on the USGS scale, and prints no blended average. Talega and some north San Clemente addresses have different suppliers.

Why was San Clemente’s groundwater not in the supply in 2025?

The city’s report says its groundwater plant was offline for rehabilitation that year, so the supply came from imported and Baker plant water. It shows that a city’s water mix can change from year to year, which is why your current bill is the best guide.

How large is the fire hazard zone in San Clemente?

The state’s recommended 2025 maps show 4,864 acres as Very High, 1,915 as High and 835 as Moderate. The 2007 to 2011 maps had 2,876 Very High acres. After ash, South Coast AQMD advises a HEPA vacuum indoors rather than a leaf blower outside.

Can you clean carpet in a small San Clemente apartment building?

Yes. Twenty-one percent of the city’s units are in 2-to-9 unit buildings, and 34 percent of occupied homes are rented. Give the office your unit, floor and move-out date when you call (844) 966-2005.
