The ZIP code it serves
The short answer
1 result is above the limit’s level with no violation recorded, and 1 more is above the health goal. The worst: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), above the limit’s level, no violation. 1 health-based violation since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2016 to 2022.
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5): California’s own results, samples taken from July 21, 2021 to Oct. 28, 2025.
Above the limit’s level, no violation recorded1
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
Forms or is added in treatment
92.5ppb
Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2025
Averaged by year, the highest was 92.5 ppb, in 2025, above EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 120 ppb. That was also the latest year on file. EPA judges this limit on running averages at each sampling point, and recorded no violation for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) 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.

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.”

At the tap, or for the whole house?
Lead and copper usually come from pipes and fixtures inside or near your home. A whole-house system sits where water enters, so it cannot catch what your own plumbing adds after it. For those, the filter that counts is the one at the tap. How whole-house systems compare.
