Living in Delhi, CA: what to set up and who to call
Delhi has no town government of its own, so Merced County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Delhi Unified School District. Tap water in most of Delhi comes from the Delhi Cwd water system, which has a clean five-year EPA record (about 20% of systems its size had a health-based violation) and a latest lead result below detection.

Water comes from Delhi Cwd water system

No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2023–Dec 2025, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
