Individual health concerns (e.g. immunocompromised, infant, pregnancy) may warrant additional filtering regardless of compliance.
+What contaminants are in Buena Vista Migrant Center, CA tap water?
32 contaminants were measured in Buena Vista Migrant Center, CA's 2023 Consumer Confidence Report, spanning pfas ("forever chemicals"), disinfection byproducts, and other. 3 have an enforceable federal limit; the rest are detected but unregulated. Every measured value, in the utility's own units, is on this page.
+Where does the data on this page come from?
Every value is transcribed from Buena Vista Migrant Center, CA's 2023 Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking-water report every U.S. public water utility is required by federal law to publish. The original source document is archived and viewable on this site. A water-quality report covers an entire service area, not a single address.
+How often is Buena Vista Migrant Center, CA's water quality data updated?
