HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
Contaminated: Groundwater
HAZARDOUS, TOXIC AND RADIOACTIVE WASTE-
Groundwater: Medium Risk
The only movement of groundwater is within the perched water layer and at a low flow rate since the release. However, low concentrations have been detected approximately 2,500 feet downgradient in monitoring wells. Contaminated groundwater table is perched and has no interconnection to adjacent aquifers. There is no potentially threatened water supply well downgradient of the source and the groundwater is not considered a potential source of drinking water and is of limited beneficial use. Class IIIB water source.
Contaminants: Vinyl chloride (child/adult) 6.8 ug/L 1,2-Dichloroethylene (cis) 37.0 ug/L Trichloroethylene (TCE) 230.0 ug/L

Esparto Community Services District Serves: 2,600
Data available: 2012—2017 Source: Groundwater Contaminants Detected 4 EXCEED EWG HEALTH GUIDELINES
9 Total Contaminants
EWG's drinking water quality report shows results of tests conducted by the water utility and provided to the Environmental Working Group by the California State Water Resources Control Board, as well as information from the U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History database (ECHO). For the latest quarter assessed by the U.S. EPA (January 2019 - March 2019), tap water provided by this water utility was in compliance with federal health-based drinking water standards.
Legal does not necessarily equal safe. Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines.
Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have not been updated in almost 20 years.
The best way to ensure clean tap water is to keep pollution out of source water in the first place.
