The ZIP code it serves
The short answer
1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Arsenic, above the health goal. 4 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Arsenic, fluoride, chromium (total), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and uranium: Texas’s own results, samples taken from Dec. 17, 2020 to Oct. 1, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Above the health goal1
Arsenic
Comes from the source
4.3ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026
2026, one sample: 3.3 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 4.3 ppb, in 2023: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 3.3 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 4.5 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 limits1
Fluoride
Forms or is added in treatment
0.11ppm
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2023
2023, one sample: 0.11 ppm
Averaged by year, the highest was 0.11 ppm, in 2020, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. In 2023, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.11 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.13 ppm, in 2017.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Fluoride Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Fluoride”
6 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
- Chromium (total)
- Haloacetic acids (HAA5)
- Lead
- Nitrate
- Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
- Uranium
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: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction
For: Arsenic
Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)
- NSF/ANSI 58
Claim: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction
For: Arsenic
Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=300 ppb Reduction; Arsenic (V) (300 ppb influent level)
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. Arsenic, fluoride, chromium (total), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and uranium results here are Texas’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Bullocks 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; Texas’s results run from Dec. 17, 2020 to Oct. 1, 2026.
