City of Menlo Park (CA) Water Quality

City of Menlo Park is a large public water system in EPA region 9 that provides tap water for the 94025 zip codes. It has 3 facilities where the water supply was tested for 68 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 39.5 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 16.7 µg/L. The maximum reported level of quinoline was 0.031 µg/L. Some (2 of 4 or 50%) of the latest water samples showed levels of quinoline that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 3 contamintants found in the City of Menlo Park water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 1 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
