The title compound, C10H13NO3·H2O, is a zwitterion hydrate with the zwitterion comprising a central ammonium group and a carboxyl­ate residue. In the zwitterion, the hy­droxy­benzene and carboxyl­ate groups are directed to the same side of the mol­ecule and each orientated to place an O atom in a position to form an intra­molecular ammonium-N-H...O hydrogen bond, each closing an S(6) loop. The three-dimensional architecture is stabilized by hy­droxy-O-H...O(carboxyl­ate), water-O-H...O(carboxyl­ate) and ammonium-N-H...O(water) hydrogen bonds.
