1. Public Water System Contacts

Click here to learn how to Modify, Add and Delete Contacts in the table below.

IMPORTANT: Each water system must have one and only one Administrative Contact AND one and only one Financial Contact. The same person may be both the Administrative and Financial Contacts.

Please provide an email address for the Administrative Contact as most email communication, particularly email blasts, from the Division of Drinking Water will be sent to the email address of the Administrative Contact.

PHONE TYPE: Home – if you use your home or personal phone number as your business number, use the HOME phone type instead and leave the BUSINESS phone type blank.
Only the BUSINESS phone type will appear in Drinking Water Watch (https://sdwis.waterboards.ca.gov/PDWW/), which can be viewed by the public, if the General Office phone number is not provided (see Water System Information section under the Intro tab).

*Calculated field

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.

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.

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:4/30/2013

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.

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.

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)?

Drought Groundwater Depletion Water Quality Degradation Flooding Sea Level Rise
Extreme Heat Fire Other None or N/A
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.

For additional information, please visit https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/drinking_water/certlic/drinkingwater/lead_service_line_inventory_pws.shtml
