In the title compound, C7H8NO4+·Cl-·2H2O, the organic molecule is almost planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0164 Å for all non-H atoms. An S(6) ring motif is formed due to an intramolecular O-H...O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, the molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by N-H...Cl, N-H...O, O-H...Cl and O-H...O hydrogen bonds.
