The short answer

2 results are above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. 1 health-based violation since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Uranium, arsenic, nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), fluoride and chromium (total): Texas’s own results, samples taken from June 4, 2020 to Sept. 2, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

  • 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: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claims: Uranium, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Uranium, 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. Uranium, arsenic, nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), fluoride and chromium (total) results here are Texas’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Northgate Mobile Home Park 1’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 June 4, 2020 to Sept. 2, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Northgate Mobile Home Park 1’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 Texas certifies.

No lab Texas certifies is within 75 miles of the area Northgate Mobile Home Park 1 serves on the state’s list. Some take samples by mail; the state’s page lists them all.
