Municipal water sources include rivers, lakes, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over land or through underground layers, it naturally dissolves minerals and, in some cases, radioactive materials. It can also pick up substances from animal presence or human activities.

Potential contaminants in source water include:

• Microbial contaminants like viruses and bacteria from sewage treatment facilities, septic systems, agricultural operations, and wildlife
• Inorganic contaminants including salts and metals that occur naturally or result from urban runoff, industrial discharge, oil and gas production, mining, or farming
• Pesticides and herbicides from agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential usage
• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile compounds from industrial processes, petroleum production, gas stations, urban runoff, and septic systems
• Radioactive contaminants that may occur naturally or result from oil/gas production and mining

To ensure tap water safety, the EPA and California State Water Resources Control Board establish regulations limiting contaminant levels in public water systems. State Board regulations also set standards for bottled water to provide similar public health protection.

The tables in our annual report list all water contaminants detected during our most recent testing cycle. The presence of these substances doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk. The State Board permits monitoring for certain contaminants less than annually since concentrations don't frequently change. Some data, while representative of current water quality, may be more than one year old.
