What is in the water at 95319

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

MODESTO IRRIGATION DISTRICT

PWSID CA5010038 · CA · serves 23 people

PFAS and lithium

Not sampled for PFAS. EPA’s UCMR 5 monitoring covered every system serving more than 3,300 people and only a sample of smaller ones. This system was not in it, so there is no result to show, which is not the same as a result showing nothing.

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 214 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 12 stations serving this system across 17 results, 2015-07-07 to 2021-04-13. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.

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

Median hardness 272 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 3 stations serving this system across 6 results, 2015-08-04 to 2021-04-13. 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.
