What is in the water at 92324

4 public water systems serve this ZIP code in the federal records. Everything below comes from EPA monitoring data, and everything missing is named.

RIVERSIDE, CITY OF

PWSID CA3310031 · CA · serves 298,398 people

PFAS and lithium

4 compounds detected at or above the reporting limit under EPA’s UCMR 5 monitoring, across 9 samples.

CompoundHighest detectedSamplesMost recent
lithium9.1 µg/L22/7/2023
PFPeA0.0067 µg/L48/10/2023
PFHxA0.0041 µg/L28/10/2023
PFOS0.004 µg/L18/10/2023

A detection is a measurement, not a violation and not a health finding. EPA states that UCMR 5 results do not indicate compliance or non-compliance with any limit.

Health-based violations

No open health-based violation on record. This covers MCL, treatment technique and MRDL violations in SDWIS that have not been returned to compliance. It excludes monitoring and reporting violations, which are the large majority nationally, so this is not “no violations”, and SDWIS completeness varies by state.

Hardness

Too few readings to state a hardness. 2 station(s), 3 result(s). Below two stations and five results this page will not state a number: a median of two readings from one creek is not your water.

WEST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT

PWSID CA3610004 · CA · serves 104,498 people

PFAS and lithium

Sampled, nothing detected. Tested for 30 compounds under UCMR 5 with none found at or above its reporting limit. A reporting limit is the lowest concentration the method can measure, so this means “below that” rather than “zero”.

Health-based violations

No open health-based violation on record. This covers MCL, treatment technique and MRDL violations in SDWIS that have not been returned to compliance. It excludes monitoring and reporting violations, which are the large majority nationally, so this is not “no violations”, and SDWIS completeness varies by state.

Hardness

Median hardness 245 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 5 stations serving this system across 5 results, 2017-01-31 to 2022-05-25. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.

What this report cannot tell you

Every figure describes water at a sampling point: a treatment plant, an entry point to the distribution system, or a monitoring station. None of it describes water arriving at your tap. Plumbing between the two can add lead and copper, and if your home was built before 1986 a test kit tells you something no federal dataset can.
