The short answer

2 results are above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Uranium, arsenic, fluoride, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate and chromium (total): California’s own results, samples taken from Jan. 17, 2020 to Feb. 9, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Above the health goal2

Uranium

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

15ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

2026, one sample: 3.0 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 15 ppb, in 2020: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 3.0 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 35.5 ppb, in 2017.

What handles it

Arsenic

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

0.7ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

2026: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.7 ppb, in 2023: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 2.1 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in any of its two samples.

What handles it

  • NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction”
  • NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction”

Below EPA’s limits4

Fluoride

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

2.3ppm

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

Averaged by year, the highest was 2.3 ppm, in 2026, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. Its highest single sample was 2.9 ppm. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 1.8 ppm, in 2013.

What handles it

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

7.5ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2025

2025 average: 4.7 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 7.5 ppb, in 2022, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 11 ppb. In 2025, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 4.7 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 3.3 ppb, in 2014.

What handles it

  • NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”
  • NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

1.8ppb

Highest yearly average, 2022 to 2025

2025: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.8 ppb, in 2024, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. Its highest single sample was 3.6 ppb. In 2025, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in any of its two samples. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 8.1 ppb, in 2014.

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

0.3ppm

Highest sample; found in 2 of 21

2026: not found

The highest sample, in 2023, was 0.3 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in any of its two samples. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 0.32 ppm, in 2015.

What handles it

  • NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction”
  • NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge)”
2 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Chromium (total)
  • Lead

What handles it

A certification covers specific claims, not a whole standard. Look for these claims on the certifier’s listing, not the box. Wording varies a little: NSF writes “Lead Reduction,” WQA just “Lead.”

  • NSF/ANSI 53

    Claim: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claims: Uranium, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Uranium, Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=300 ppb Reduction; Arsenic (V) (300 ppb influent level)

At the tap, or for the whole house?

These come with the water itself, so a whole-house system certified for the same claims treats every tap and shower. A filter at the tap treats drinking water for much less. How whole-house systems compare.

Violations since 2016

No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016. There is 1 monitoring or reporting violation: a sample missed, late or not reported.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Uranium, arsenic, fluoride, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate and chromium (total) results here are California’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Cdf - Pilot Rock Conservation Camp’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has the contaminants this page does not show.

  • Your own plumbing. Lead results are the 90th percentile across homes the utility samples. Your home’s service line, solder and fixtures decide yours. A certified lab test is the only way to know.

  • What it means for your health. This page reports what the records show and EPA’s limits and goals; it is not medical advice. If you are worried about a health effect, talk to a doctor or your local health department.

  • Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q3; UCMR 5 didn’t sample this utility; California’s results run from Jan. 17, 2020 to Feb. 9, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Cdf - Pilot Rock Conservation Camp’s results are for the water it sends out. What your own service line, solder and fixtures add shows up only in a test of your tap, by a lab California certifies.

No lab California certifies is within 75 miles of the area Cdf - Pilot Rock Conservation Camp serves on the state’s list. Some take samples by mail; the state’s page lists them all.
