The ZIP code it serves
The short answer
1 result is above EPA’s legal limit, and 1 more is above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the legal limit. 35 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Uranium, arsenic, nitrate, fluoride, total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and chromium (total): California’s own results, samples taken from Jan. 6, 2020 to June 17, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Above the legal limit1
Uranium
Comes from the source
59.1ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026
2026 average: 48.4 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 59.1 ppb, in 2022, about twice EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb. Its highest single sample was 61.1 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 48.4 ppb, above the limit. EPA recorded violations for uranium at this utility in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 55.7 ppb, in 2017, and EPA recorded violations in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Uranium”
Above the health goal1
Arsenic
Comes from the source
2.6ppb
Highest yearly average, 2022 to 2025
Averaged by year, the highest was 2.6 ppb, in 2025: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 2.0 ppb, in 2019.
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 limits3
Nitrate
Comes from the source
5.0ppm
Highest sample; found in 11 of 11
2026, one sample: 4.4 ppm
The highest sample, in 2025, was 5.0 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 4.4 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 3.1 ppm, in 2019.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge)”
Fluoride
Forms or is added in treatment
0.71ppm
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2025
Averaged by year, the highest was 0.71 ppm, in 2025, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.56 ppm, in 2013.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Fluoride Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Fluoride”
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
Forms or is added in treatment
1.2ppb
Highest yearly average, 2022 to 2025
Averaged by year, the highest was 1.2 ppb, in 2025, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. That was also the latest year on file.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”
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.

Hardness
Very hard, 495 mg/L (28.9 grains per gallon), at its one sampling point, 2020 to 2023.
Hardness is calcium and magnesium. EPA sets no limit for it: it shows up as scale on fixtures and in water heaters, and as soap that won’t lather. USGS calls water above 60 mg/L moderately hard, above 120 hard and above 180 very hard.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Uranium, arsenic, nitrate, fluoride, total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and chromium (total) results here are California’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Daggett Comm Svcs Dist’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. 6, 2020 to June 17, 2026.
