SAN YSIDRO WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
SAN YSIDRO, NM · 166 people served · EPA PWSID NM3509723
SAN YSIDRO WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM (SAN YSIDRO, NM), which serves about 166 people, has recorded 4 health-based drinking-water contaminants in EPA violation records since 2016, most notably Arsenic, Fluoride, Copper. A certified water filter can reduce these at the tap — see the certified options for each below.
What the testing found
Measured levels from EPA violation records, compared to the federal limit (MCL). The black line marks the legal limit.
Arsenic
11× the federal limitKnown human carcinogen (skin, bladder, lung); also cardiovascular and developmental effects. Mostly naturally occurring in groundwater.
Fluoride
1.7× the federal limitAdded for dental health at ~0.7 mg/L; EPA MCL 4 mg/L. Excess causes dental/skeletal fluorosis. Can be naturally high in some groundwater.
Copper
1.62× the federal limitShort-term: nausea/vomiting/cramps; long-term: liver/kidney damage. Leaches from copper plumbing, worse with corrosive water.
Lead
Within federal limitNo safe level. Damages developing brain/nervous system in children; linked to lower IQ, kidney and cardiovascular harm in adults. Usually enters water from corroding pipes/solder, not the source.
Filters certified to clean up your water
Your water shows Arsenic, Fluoride, Copper, Lead. A reverse osmosis system handles the most of this in one unit — these three are independently certified for the most of your contaminants (not marketing claims):

Sources & method. Contaminant levels and violations come from EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System (health-based violations, 2016–present); PFAS from EPA UCMR5 monitoring (2023–2025). Levels shown are the highest recorded value in the violation records; a violation means the contaminant exceeded its federal limit at the system level. Your home's water can differ from the system average. Public domain data; we are not affiliated with the EPA.
