Palo Alto draws the same soft Hetch Hetchy water as San Francisco, so a plumbed built-in in a remodeled Eichler kitchen scales slowly, and its inlet valve and board are more often the reason for a call. ## What Palo Alto does to a coffee machine. The City of Palo Alto owns and operates its own electric, natural gas, water and sanitary sewer utilities, along with commercial fiber optic service. Its water is bought from the SFPUC and consists almost entirely of Sierra Nevada snowmelt delivered through the Hetch Hetchy system. The city's 2025 water quality report lists hardness averaging 62 ppm as calcium carbonate. Since 1965 the city utility has been moving overhead electric, telephone and cable lines underground, though it has no plans to bury lines across the whole city.
