The short answer

1 result is above EPA’s legal limit, and 1 more is above the limit’s level with no violation recorded. The worst: Haloacetic acids (HAA5), above the legal limit. 2 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Haloacetic acids (HAA5) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM): California’s own results, samples taken from Aug. 9, 2020 to Dec. 16, 2025.

Above the legal limit1

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)

Forms or is added in treatment

Above the legal limit

49ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2025

2025, one sample: 17 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 49 ppb, in 2024, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2025, the latest year on file, its one sample was 17 ppb. EPA judges this limit at each sampling point, and recorded a violation for haloacetic acids (HAA5) at this utility in 2021.

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

Forms or is added in treatment

94ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2025

2025 average: 14.2 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 94 ppb, in 2020, above EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 110 ppb. In 2025, the latest year on file, its three samples averaged 14.2 ppb. 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

  • NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”
  • NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”
One compound tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • 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.”

  • NSF/ANSI 53

    Claim: Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction

    For: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

    Other certifiers’ wording: VOC Reduction

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claim: Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction

    For: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

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.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. 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. Sunbeam Lake Rv Resort’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 Aug. 9, 2020 to Dec. 16, 2025.

Testing your own tap

Sunbeam Lake Rv Resort’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.
