Check whether a private well's nitrate risk needs a look, household 3 -- the North Lander Ave-area residential cluster, Hilmar, CA 95324
A third household in this dairy-belt cluster also draws its own private well with no record of any nitrate test or treatment ever performed at this tap, the same real, documented regional risk the North Lander Ave corridor's households already carry. Standard: EPA/CA Title 22 nitrate MCL 10 mg/L as N + UC ANR dairy-region domestic-well nitrate risk guidance; SDG 6.1/3.9. Proof: document-only self-reported well-history intake + well-cap visual condition photo + GPS + ranked follow-on list Method (EPA WaterSense fixture flow-rate + leak audit, ~45-90 min): 1. Confirm the address; get a staff escort; photograph each fixture group. 2. Measure flow rate at each faucet/shower with the bag-and-timer method; record gallons per minute (gpm). 3. Test each toilet for leaks with a dye tablet (wait 10 min, check for color in the bowl); record flush volume. 4. Inspect fixtures, meters, and irrigation for visible leaks/drips; note each. 5. Read the water meter with all fixtures off; note any movement (indicates a hidden leak). 6. Rank WaterSense fixture upgrades + leak repairs by estimated water/cost savings. 7. Record flow rates, leak results, meter check, ranked measures, and photos into the proof record; sign. Equipment: flow-rate measurement bag + timer, toilet dye tablets, moisture meter, GPS / address, camera, tablet / data sheet Done when: Flow rate (gpm) recorded per fixture; Toilet leak result + flush volume recorded per toilet; Meter-with-all-off check recorded; Ranked upgrade/repair measures + photos + address confirm
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45โ90 minutes. Method of record: EPA WaterSense fixture flow-rate + leak audit
Bring
- flow-rate measurement bag + timer
- toilet dye tablets
- moisture meter
- GPS / address
- camera
- tablet / data sheet
Steps
- 1. Confirm the address; get a staff escort; photograph each fixture group.
- 2. Measure flow rate at each faucet/shower with the bag-and-timer method; record gallons per minute (gpm).
- 3. Test each toilet for leaks with a dye tablet (wait 10 min, check for color in the bowl); record flush volume.
- 4. Inspect fixtures, meters, and irrigation for visible leaks/drips; note each.
- 5. Read the water meter with all fixtures off; note any movement (indicates a hidden leak).
- 6. Rank WaterSense fixture upgrades + leak repairs by estimated water/cost savings.
- 7. Record flow rates, leak results, meter check, ranked measures, and photos into the proof record; sign.
If it does not match the plan
- Meter moving with all fixtures off AND active water damage (wet drywall, ceiling stain, pooling near electrical) -> STOP: possible electrical exposure; keep clear, route to a licensed plumber (and electrician if water contacts wiring). The agent documents, never opens walls.
- Suspected cross-connection / backflow risk (hose-bib, irrigation, boiler makeup) -> flag for a licensed plumber backflow test; potable-water contamination is a health hazard โ do not test-operate the connection.
- Toilet dye migrates into the bowl -> flag a leaking flapper/valve for repair.
- Meter moves with all fixtures off -> flag a hidden leak for investigation.
- Faucet > 2.2 gpm or showerhead > 2.0 gpm -> recommend a WaterSense upgrade.
- No electrical/gas work; documentation only โ flag suspected pipe damage, do not disassemble.
What counts as done
- Flow rate (gpm) recorded per fixture
- Toilet leak result + flush volume recorded per toilet
- Meter-with-all-off check recorded
- Ranked upgrade/repair measures + photos + address confirm
