Short answer: No measured result is above a legal limit; lithium sits above a screening level. CWSC King City serves 14,046 residents.
Your water bill or annual water quality report names your actual supplier.
CWSC KING CITY (EPA PWSID CA2710009) delivers groundwater to 14,046 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.
The records describe the system. A certified lab test shows what reaches your glass.
Lithium 16 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 King City, no regulated PFAS were detected in EPA's 2024 testing. CWSC KING CITY (PWSID CA2710009) has a Purity Score of 100/100 (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.
CWSC KING CITY (PWS ID CA2710009) is the public water system on record for King City, California, serving about 14,046 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
None of the 29 PFAS in EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2025-01-15 to 2025-08-19) was detected. "Not detected" means below the lab's reporting limit, not proven zero.
Lead is not in King City'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 King City holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference and 30 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
