Results for LINDSAY, CITY OF
1 water provider directly on file, serving roughly 12,659 people in Tulare County, California.
Quick answer: LINDSAY, CITY OF has no violation currently counted toward its compliance status. EPA's record shows a Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) violation dating to 10/01/2022 (4 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.

A group of disinfection byproducts formed when chlorine reacts with organic matter. Long-term exposure above the legal limit has been linked to increased cancer risk in some studies.
Contaminants found
Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2024
Iron
Detected: 89 UG/L (ppb)
7/7/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Arsenic
Detected: 2.2 UG/L (ppb)
7/7/2025
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
