Water companies that supply Eureka

6 public water companies list Eureka as a place they supply. The biggest is Eureka's water department, with about 1,995 people. The highest latest result among Eureka's water companies is 7 parts per billion, at Creekside Motel RV and Trlr Pk. None of the 6 with results was above 15 at its latest test. 3 found too little lead to measure. Small ones like Creekside Motel RV and Trlr Pk supply just their own grounds or street; most of Eureka gets its water from Eureka's water department. 5 are small systems serving fewer than 500 people each, such as a mobile home park, a subdivision or a business with its own well. Your water bill names yours.
