Nothing in EPA’s and California’s records for this utility is above a health goal. That covers nitrate, arsenic and other regulated chemicals, plus lead and copper, not everything. 1 health-based violation since 2016.
What was found
Nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM): California’s own results, samples taken from Aug. 31, 2020 to Sept. 15, 2025, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Chromium (total), arsenic and fluoride: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Jan. 6, 2015 to April 28, 2017. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM) results here are California’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Chromium (total), arsenic and fluoride come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Las Palmas Mobile Home Park’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has newer results for those and 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.
