About Us
The sources of tap water (both municipal and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels across land surfaces or through underground layers, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in certain cases, radioactive materials, and may pick up substances from animal presence or human activities.
CONTAMINANTS POTENTIALLY PRESENT IN SOURCE WATER INCLUDE:
- MICROBIAL CONTAMINANTS: Viruses and bacteria from sewage treatment facilities, septic systems, agricultural operations, and wildlife.
- INORGANIC CONTAMINANTS: Salts and metals occurring naturally or resulting from urban stormwater runoff, industrial/domestic wastewater discharges, oil/gas production, mining, or farming.
- ORGANIC CHEMICAL CONTAMINANTS: Synthetic and volatile organic compounds from industrial processes, petroleum production, gas stations, urban runoff, and septic systems.
- PESTICIDES AND HERBICIDES: From various sources including agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.
- RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINANTS: Can occur naturally or result from oil/gas production and mining activities.
To ensure tap water safety, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and State Water Resources Control Board establish regulations limiting contaminant levels in public water systems. State Board regulations also set limits for bottled water contaminants to provide similar public health protection.
All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably contain at least minimal amounts of certain contaminants. Contaminant presence doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, contact the USEPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).
NOTICE FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS: Some individuals may be particularly vulnerable to certain water contaminants. Immunocompromised persons, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, people with HIV/AIDS or immune disorders, some elderly individuals, and infants may face increased infection risks. These individuals should seek advice from healthcare providers regarding their drinking water. USEPA/CDC guidelines on reducing Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminant infection risks are available through the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

About Martinez
Established in 1876, Martinez serves as the County seat of Contra Costa County. Located along the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers in the central region of the County, the city's origins date back to the late 1840s when it functioned as a ferry crossing point over the Carquinez straits for travelers heading to the goldfields.
By the time of its incorporation, Martinez had developed into one of the area's most significant trading posts and shipping ports. Today, the city spans 12.5 square miles and is home to approximately 36,700 residents.
As one of California's earliest towns, Martinez maintains a strong historical heritage. The celebrated naturalist John Muir made Martinez his home for nearly 25 years, and in 1914, the year of Muir's passing, baseball legend Joe DiMaggio was born here.
One of Martinez's distinctive features is its architecture. Many downtown businesses preserve their early 20th century appearance and charm, with some residences dating back more than 125 years. Honoring its history while looking toward the future, Martinez has modernized both its infrastructure and downtown area.
The city inaugurated an award-winning Intermodal Facility in 2001 that has become a popular Amtrak station. It also completed a major restoration of Alhambra Creek that enhances the downtown area while controlling flooding, and has embarked on a program to establish Martinez as a cultural-historical destination as the home of the John Muir Festival Center. An outdoor amphitheater represents the first phase of this long-term initiative.
Martinez residents of all ages enjoy outdoor recreation. With 16 city parks and a Marina, numerous recreational opportunities are available to the public. The waterfront's premium bocce ball courts host the nation's largest bocce league. Nearby, the recently completed 10,000 square foot Skate Park attracts youth from throughout the region.
