Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid
11.1ng/L
Each block = 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024)
Short answer: Three PFAS, PFHxS, PFOA and PFOS, are above their federal limits (2024 limits that water systems have until at least 2029 to meet); lithium sits above a screening level. Hesperia Water District serves 101,836 residents.
Your water bill or annual water quality report names your actual supplier.
Each bar is drawn in blocks of its own limit, so the length shows how far above it the result sits.

HESPERIA WD (EPA PWSID CA3610024) delivers groundwater to 101,836 residents. This report reflects 29 individual PFAS result(s) from the source UCMR5 observations and the latest Lead & Copper Rule 90th-percentile result. Water hardness and disinfectant type are pending the utility's own annual report.
0health-based violations in the last 10 years
From EPA SDWIS. A clean violation history means no enforcement action was recorded; it does not cover contaminants without a limit.
No result is not a pass. Your utility's annual water quality report may list them, and a certified lab test covers your own tap.
A tap test can confirm levels at your home before you choose treatment.
PFOS 11.1 ng/L, above the 4 ng/L limit (+6 more PFAS detected)
Lithium 10.2 µg/L, above the 10.0 µg/L EPA health reference level
Screening tells you if something is worth a closer look; a lab result is the number you can act on.

Screening: quick check, not lab-grade
Silver Lake Research
Lead, bacteria, nitrate, copper, iron, chlorine, hardness and pH
What it can't tell you: Each test gives a yes/no or a rough range, not a lab number, and it cannot detect PFAS or arsenic.
Lab-certified results
ETR Laboratories
50+ substances, including lead, copper, arsenic, nitrate, hardness and coliform bacteria
What it can't tell you: It does not test PFAS, and not every result on the panel falls under the lab's accredited scope.

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Hesperia, PFOS 11.1 ng/L (limit 4 ng/L), PFOA 10.2 ng/L (limit 4 ng/L) and PFHxS 10.5 ng/L (limit 10 ng/L) were measured above their limits in EPA's 2024 testing. HESPERIA WD (PWSID CA3610024) has a Purity Score of 57/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.
HESPERIA WD (PWS ID CA3610024) is the public water system on record for Hesperia, California, serving about 101,836 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2023-07-19 to 2025-01-15), PFOS was measured at 11.1 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit, PFOA was measured at 10.2 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFHxS was measured at 10.5 ng/L against a 10 ng/L federal limit. PFHxA (5.4 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) was also detected. 6:2 FTS (50.3 ng/L), PFHpA (3.1 ng/L) and PFPeA (4.2 ng/L) were also detected; they have no federal or state limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Lead is not in Hesperia's current published record. Lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so a certified home test is the way to know yours.
PurityMap's current record for Hesperia holds 31 findings: 4 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference, 3 detected with no limit and 23 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

Start with the hot-or-cold tap check. Where Hesperia Water District reported something related, it's shown below.
Lead at Hesperia Water District: not detected (90th percentile, 2023–2025 monitoring period). Lead has no taste, so a taste neither shows nor rules it out.
