Living in Victor, CA: what to set up and who to call
Victor has no town government of its own, so San Joaquin County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Lodi Unified School District. Tap water in most of Victor comes from San Joaquin Water Works #2, which has a clean five-year EPA record (about 23% of systems its size had a health-based violation) and a latest lead result below detection.

Water comes from San Joaquin Water Works #2
San Joaquin Water Works #2 supplies Victor: about 82% of residents live in its service area. About 18% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws ground water and serves 310 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 77% of the 15,074 systems serving 101–500 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2022–Dec 2024, 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.
