Frequently Asked Questions About Tracy City Tap Water
Tracy City's water has 1 contaminant above EPA MCLGs. We recommend using a certified water filter for additional protection, especially for vulnerable populations like children, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems. EPA records 7 health-based violations for TRACY CITY WATER SYSTEM that began after its latest compliance result on file (May 2022): Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average (TTHM), 3 violations, the first beginning on April 1, 2025 and the latest on October 1, 2025; Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average (Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)), 4 violations, the first beginning on July 1, 2024 and the latest on July 1, 2025.
