Non-potable = water supplies, except recycled water, that do not enter the drinking water distribution system and are for non-potable uses only such as irrigation
Recycled = domestic wastewater which as a result of treatment is suitable for uses other than potable use such as irrigation or toilet flushing
1Only report Maximum Day if it is actually measured or determined from production records. It should not be the average day demand during
the maximum month of production.
2Do not include raw water purchased; report only volume of water that was treated.
3(F) Total Amount of Potable Water = Sum of Columns (C), (D) and (E), automatically calculated. Total water production includes water that is sold to another water system. To update, click below
4This is the percentage of the total annual volume for Groundwater produced that was provided treatment to meet drinking water standards other than precautionary disinfection and fluoridation.
5If water was Purchased from or Sold to another PWS, complete the table below:

AFFORDABLE DRINKING WATER
For each amount of water delivered to a single-family residential customer shown below, what is charged (in dollars) to the customer?

For each of the three water volumes shown below, provide what would be the monthly water bill for a single-family residential customer. Enter the monthly Water Charges and Other Charges for each water volume. For example, if a single-family customer used 12 HCF in a month, the total bill would include water charges for using 12 HCF and other charges that are added to the bill. Other charges may include property taxes, fire suppression, waste water, etc., which are determined locally. Click the “Update Totals” button to automatically add the charges together to show a Total Monthly Water Bill that a residential customer would pay when its household used the specified amount of water.

7. WATER QUALITY
ANNUAL NITRATE SAMPLING
Regulations require a minimum of annual sampling for nitrate. If any nitrate result is >= 1/2 the MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) of 10 mg/l as nitrogen (i.e., a result of >= 5 mg/l
as nitrogen) then quarterly monitoring must be initiated.
Did your system conduct monitoring for nitrate during 2017 from each source? | |
NOTE: If there were any sources that were not monitored because they were offline during 2017,
you must contact your local regulatory agency to avoid an enforcement action for failure to monitor.
BACTERIOLOGICAL SAMPLE SITING PLAN
The coliform monitoring regulations require that an updated sample-siting plan be submitted at least every 10 years,
and at any time the plan no longer ensures representative monitoring of the system (Section 64422 of Title 22).
Date of current bacteriological sample siting plan: | 01/01/2008 |
DIRECT ADDITIVES
Pursuant to Section 64590, Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, (effective January 1, 1994), all chemicals or products, including chlorine,
added directly to the drinking water as part of a treatment process must meet the ANSI/NSF Standard 60. Please complete the following table
for each chemical used by this water system. If you are not sure whether a chemical you are using meets this standard, contact the manufacturer
or distributor of the chemical.
If you do not use any direct additives, put “NONE” in each column of the first row.
Name of Chemical | Name of Manufacturer | Purpose of using chemical | Chemical is ANSI/NSF Standard 60 certified  (Y/N) | Use initiated in 2017  (Y/N) |
Sodium Hypochlorite | Argo and Amber Chemical | Disinfection | Y | N |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
INDIRECT ADDITIVES
As of March 9, 2008, a water system shall not use any chemical, material, lubricant, or product in the production, treatment or distribution
of drinking water that comes in contact with the drinking water that does not have certification of meeting NSF/ANSI standard 61.
Does your water system have procedures to ensure all future equipment and materials meet this standard? | |
If you have any questions on the requirements related to indirect additives, you may contact your local regulatory agency.

11. WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
The California Waterworks Standards (Section 64556) require an amended permit for any of the following improvements or modifications:
- Addition of a new distribution reservoir with a capacity of 100,000 gallons or more
- Modification or extension of the existing distribution system using an alternative to the requirements of the
California Waterworks Standards (see Sections 64570 through 64578) - Modification of the water supply by:
- Adding a new source
- Changing the status of an existing source (for example, active to standby) or
- Changing or altering a source, such that the quality or quantity of water supply could be affected
- Any addition or change in treatment, including

18. CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCY FOR WATER UTILITIES

ONLY FOR COMMUNITY WATER SYSTEMS
Your water system classification is: Community Water System 
If you have questions about completing this section of the report, please contact Joseph.Crisologo@waterboards.ca.gov or call (818) 551-2046.
A. CLIMATE THREATS |
What climate-related impacts are of concern for your water system (check all that apply)?  |
B. SENSITIVITY AND MAGNITUDE OF IMPACTS |
Qualitatively assess climate change sensitivity of your facilities, and criticality or consequence of disruption. Consider identified climate threats using past experience, and expert judgement based on the magnitude of expected change and extreme events in the future. You do not need numeric answers. USEPA provides a risk assessment tool, called CREAT, to help utilities identify which environmental changes can impact water supply: https://www.epa.gov/crwu/build-resilience-your-utility. More resources are available that may help you complete this section.  |

19. LEAD SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENT

ONLY FOR COMMUNITY WATER SYSTEMS
Your water system classification is: Community Water System
Section 116885 of the California Health and Safety Code, Lead Service Lines in Public Water Systems, added to the Health and Safety Code by Senate Bill 1398 (2016) and amended by Senate Bill 427 (2017), requires all community water systems (CWS) to compile an inventory of known partial or total lead user service lines in use in its distribution system by July 1, 2018. The inventory must include all user service lines that are active and those that are reasonably expected to become active in the future. Also, Section 116885 requires that CWS identify areas that may have lead user service lines in use, and/or identify any areas within the CWS distribution system that the CWS cannot identify the material that is being used for the service line.
