The short answer

1 result is above the limit’s level with no violation recorded, and 2 more are above the health goal. The worst: Fluoride, above the limit’s level, no violation. 1 health-based violation since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Fluoride, arsenic, uranium, nitrate, chromium (total) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM): California’s own results, samples taken from Nov. 11, 2020 to March 10, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Above the limit’s level, no violation recorded1

Fluoride

Forms or is added in treatment

Above the limit’s level, no violation

5.8ppm

Highest yearly average, 2023 to 2026

Averaged by year, the highest was 5.8 ppm, in 2026, above EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. That was also the latest year on file. EPA judges this limit on running averages at each sampling point, and recorded no violation for fluoride at this utility since 2020. Results like these with no violation often include water sampled before treatment or blending; the utility’s annual report says what reaches the tap. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 2.0 ppm, in 2013.

What handles it

Above the health goal2

Arsenic

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

7.1ppb

Highest yearly average, 2023 to 2026

Averaged by year, the highest was 7.1 ppb, in 2026: 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 5.9 ppb, in 2016.

What handles it

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

Uranium

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

7.7ppb

Highest yearly average, 2025

Averaged by year, the highest was 7.7 ppb, in 2025: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. That is the only year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 5.9 ppb, in 2013.

What handles it

Below EPA’s limits1

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

0.96ppm

Highest sample; found in 1 of 8

2026: not found

The highest sample, in 2024, was 0.96 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.

What handles it

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

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

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

    For: Fluoride, Arsenic

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

  • NSF/ANSI 58

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

    For: Fluoride, Arsenic, Uranium

    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

Soft, 44 mg/L (2.6 grains per gallon), at its one sampling point, 2019 to 2026.

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. Fluoride, arsenic, uranium, nitrate, chromium (total) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM) results here are California’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Desert View Trailer Park’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 Nov. 11, 2020 to March 10, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Desert View Trailer Park’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.
