The ZIP code it serves
The short answer
1 result is above EPA’s legal limit, and 2 more are above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the legal limit. 17 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2017 to 2025.
Uranium, arsenic, nitrate, chromium (total), fluoride and total trihalomethanes (TTHM): California’s own results, samples taken from May 22, 2020 to March 23, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Above the legal limit1
Uranium
Comes from the source
498ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026
2026 average: 358 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 498 ppb, in 2025, about 17 times EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb. Its highest single sample was 849 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 358 ppb, above the limit. EPA recorded violations for uranium at this utility in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 448 ppb, in 2017, and EPA recorded violations in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Uranium”
Above the health goal2
Lead
Comes from pipes, often your own
4.6ppb
90th percentile, 2023 to 2025
In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 4.6 ppb, below EPA’s action level of 15 ppb. The action level drops to 10 ppb on Nov. 1, 2027. EPA’s health goal for lead is zero.

- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Lead Reduction”
Arsenic
Comes from the source
1.5ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024
2024 average: 1.3 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 1.5 ppb, in 2020: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 3.2 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 1.3 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 2.0 ppb, in 2017.
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 limits2
Nitrate
Comes from the source
6.8ppm
Highest sample; found in 19 of 19
2026 average: 2.3 ppm
The highest sample, in 2022, was 6.8 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 2.3 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 7.3 ppm, in 2018.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge)”
Chromium (total)
Comes from the source
0.28ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2023
Averaged by year, the highest was 0.28 ppb, in 2023, below EPA’s legal limit of 100 ppb. Its highest single sample was 1.1 ppb. That was also the latest year on file.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Chromium (Hexavalent) Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Chromium Reduction”
2 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
- Fluoride
- 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: Lead Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction
For: Lead, Arsenic
Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)
- NSF/ANSI 58
Claims: Uranium, Lead Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction
For: Uranium, Lead, Arsenic
Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=300 ppb Reduction; Arsenic (V) (300 ppb influent level)
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.

Hardness
Moderately hard to hard depending on the source, 94 to 170 mg/L (5.5 to 9.9 grains per gallon), across 2 sampling points, 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, chromium (total), fluoride and total trihalomethanes (TTHM) results here are California’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Shady Oaks Mobile Home Park LLC’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 22, 2020 to March 23, 2026.
