Padre Dam Municipal Water District

Your Water Quality in 2017

Padre Dam is pleased to report that our water system meets all USEPA and California Municipal Water Health Standards. This report provides a snapshot of last year's water quality (2017), including details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State and Federal standards.

Water Sources
Padre Dam imports 100% of its potable water supplied from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) and the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA). The water undergoes treatment at Metropolitan's Skinner Treatment Plant near Temecula, the SDCWA's Twin Oaks Valley Treatment Plant in San Marcos, Claude "Bud" Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant and Helix Water District's Levy Treatment Plant in Lakeside. Metropolitan, SDCWA, Helix and Padre Dam work together annually to evaluate water quality levels and produce this Water Quality Report.

The tap water you received from Padre Dam in 2017 was a blend from the Colorado River System, the California State Water Project, ocean water from the desalination plant and local watersheds within San Diego County.

Source Water Assessment
Metropolitan evaluated the vulnerability of its imported water in 2015 for the Colorado River and 2016 for the State Water Project. These source waters are exposed to stormwater runoff, recreational activities, wastewater discharges, wildlife, fires and other watershed-related factors that could affect water quality. Treatment to remove specific contaminants can be more expensive than protective measures at the source, which is why Metropolitan and other agencies invest resources in watershed protection programs.
