The short answer
1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Uranium, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5), fluoride, arsenic and chromium (total): California’s own results, samples taken from May 4, 2020 to May 12, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Above the health goal1
Uranium
Comes from the source
10.9ppb
Highest yearly average, 2024
Averaged by year, the highest was 10.9 ppb, in 2024: 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 10.7 ppb, in 2018.
What handles it

Below EPA’s limits4
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
Forms or is added in treatment
18ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024
2024, one sample: 1.3 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 18 ppb, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, its one sample was 1.3 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 11 ppb, in 2017.

Nitrate
Comes from the source
1.5ppm
Highest sample; found in 5 of 7
2026, one sample: 1.3 ppm
The highest sample, in 2025, was 1.5 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 1.3 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 0.7 ppm, in 2012.

3 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
- Arsenic
- 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.”

Claim: Uranium
For: Uranium
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.
Filters with those claims on a certifier’s listing
None of the filters TapBuff has checked so far carry these claims. Search the certifier listings for the claim above.
Compare five-year costsHardness
Very hard, 740 mg/L (43.3 grains per gallon), at its one sampling point, 2019 to 2025.
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.
Violations since 2016
No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016.
What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Uranium, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5), fluoride, arsenic and chromium (total) results here are California’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Mission Oaks Mobile Home 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 May 4, 2020 to May 12, 2026.
