Results for HUGHSON, CA
3 water providers on file serving this city.
Quick answer: HUGHSON's water has no violation currently counted toward its compliance status. EPA's record shows a Arsenic violation dating to 04/01/2011 (15 years ago) — because it's more than five years past its deadline, EPA's policy no longer treats it as part of this system's current standing, though it remains on the public record.

Violations on file
Arsenic
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 1 of 3 providers
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
Nitrate
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 1 of 3 providers
Commonly from agricultural fertilizer runoff or septic systems. Above the legal limit, it's an immediate concern especially for infants.
Contaminants found
Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
Found at 2 providers
Lead
Detected: 5 UG/L (ppb)
7/1/2025
A metal that can leach from old pipes, solder, and fixtures. Current medical guidance holds there is no truly safe level of lead exposure, especially for children and pregnant women.
Copper, Free
Detected: 65 UG/L (ppb)
7/1/2025
Iron, Dissolved
Detected: 40 UG/L (ppb)
2/25/2025
Iron
Detected: 170 UG/L (ppb)
10/21/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Manganese
Detected: 2.1 UG/L (ppb)
10/21/2025
Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.
Arsenic
Detected: 9 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 2 providers
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
Chromium, Hex
Detected: 2.4 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 2 providers
Chromium
Detected: 13 UG/L (ppb)
7/1/2025
Occurs in two forms — trivalent (an essential nutrient in trace amounts) and hexavalent (linked to increased cancer risk).
