Auberry, CA tap water
Supplied mostly by Sandy Creek Village MHP, plus 5 other utilities. Here's what the water means for your fish.
Disinfectant
Not confirmed
We couldn't confirm how your water is disinfected. US utilities use chlorine or chloramine, and chloramine doesn't gas off when water sits out.
Safety for fish and shrimp
Nitrite (NO₂)
Not detected (Low)
Not detected in testing, so any nitrite in your tank comes from the tank itself.
From EPA monitoring data (2012–2019).
Nitrate (NO₃)
Up to 43 ppm (Worth knowing)
Typical 22 ppm
High for tap water. Water changes can't take your tank's nitrate below this level.
From California Water Board lab results, measured before treatment; EPA monitoring data (2012–2026).
Copper at home taps
0.01–0.44 ppm (Low)
Typical 0.03 ppm
Low. Water that sits in household pipes overnight can carry more than this.
From California Water Board lab results (2024–2025).
Water chemistry
General hardness
10–180 ppm
Typical 175 ppm
Moderately hard. Great for livebearers, and most community fish adapt.
From California Water Board lab results, measured before treatment; Mary Lou Mobile Home Park's calcium and magnesium readings, measured before treatment (2024–2026).
Carbonate hardness (alkalinity)
26–170 ppm
Typical 130 ppm
Strong buffering. pH stays steady and hard to lower without RO water.
From California Water Board lab results, measured before treatment (2023–2026).
pH
5.9–7.7
Typical 7.1
Most community fish do well here. Stable water matters more than the exact number.
From California Water Board lab results, measured before treatment (2023–2026).
Total dissolved solids
69–370 ppm
Typical 290 ppm
A rough measure of everything dissolved in the water. RO water reads near 0, so TDS is a quick way to compare waters.
From California Water Board lab results, measured before treatment (2023–2026).
