In drinking water, ppm ≈ mg/L, ppb ≈ µg/L and ppt ≈ ng/L. Calculated hardness in grains per US gallon (gpg) = mg/L as CaCO₃ ÷ 17.118, rounded to one decimal. ND means below the reporting limit, not zero.
MCL is an enforceable contaminant limit; MRDL is a disinfectant limit. A PHG is a health goal, not the legal limit. Lead/copper action levels use system sampling percentiles, not a safe-tap threshold. TTHM/HAA5 comparisons use locational running annual averages.
PFAS results are compound-specific. Source monitoring, entry-point samples and tap tests are different. Notification and response levels in a utility report are not maximum contaminant levels; do not infer a compliance violation from a single value. EPA PFAS benchmarks and implementation ↗

More about your local water
Cal Water’s Stockton sources have different hardness: groundwater averages 150 mg/L and surface water 38.9 mg/L.
This page summarizes Cal Water’s Stockton System. Confirm the provider on your bill before using the results. Other Stockton suppliers and communities elsewhere in San Joaquin County have separate reports.
A useful local question
No. This is the Cal Water Stockton System report. Use it only after matching the supplier on your bill. A city name or ZIP code alone does not identify the water system.
We keep each utility’s results separate, show the reported sample year, and distinguish averages, maxima and tap-sampling percentiles. Hardness classifications use USGS ranges. Missing data stays unknown.
These local providers publish separate reports. Follow the matching utility link; the measurements above do not describe these systems.
