Your tap water undergoes regular testing for potentially unsafe levels of chemicals, radioactive materials, and microorganisms both at the source and throughout the distribution network. We conduct tests on various schedules—weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually—depending on the specific substance being monitored.

State and federal regulations permit less frequent testing for certain substances whose levels remain stable over time. All water quality assessments are performed by specially trained technicians in state-certified laboratories.

Understanding Water Quality Standards

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establishes limits on allowable substance levels in tap water. In California, the State Water Resources Control Board enforces these standards with limits that are often more stringent than federal requirements.

There are two types of limits, called standards:

• Primary standards protect public health by limiting potentially harmful substances
• Secondary standards address aesthetic qualities like taste, odor, and appearance

Regulations establish Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for each standard. The MCL represents the highest permitted level of a substance in your municipal water. California also establishes Public Health Goals (PHGs), which provide additional information about water quality but are advisory rather than enforceable.

Water Quality Reports and Monitoring

Our comprehensive testing covers over 100 substances, though regulations only require reporting those actually detected in your water. When reviewing water quality reports, compare the detected concentration levels against the MCL—any substance exceeding its MCL requires more frequent monitoring and potentially water treatment or source removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which browsers are recommended for accessing online services?

   For optimal experience, use the latest versions of major browsers: Internet Explorer 10+, current releases of Firefox, Chrome, or Safari 5+. Check browser developers' websites for the most recent versions.

   Mac users need: Mac OS X 10.5/10.6/10.7, Office 2011 for Mac, and Safari 5+.

3. What do the colored indicators next to people's names represent?

   These indicate availability status: green (available), yellow (idle/away), red (unavailable), and white (signed out).

4. Why do deleted messages sometimes reappear?

   Messages display by "conversations" by default, grouping related messages regardless of their folder location. When you receive a new response to a conversation, the entire thread becomes visible again, though individual messages remain in their respective folders.

5. How secure is the data in emails and attachments?

   While robust security measures protect against viruses and spam, electronic communications remain vulnerable during transmission and storage. We recommend against using email for highly sensitive information. Security depends not only on our systems but also on your devices and network configuration.

6. Is spam filtering implemented?

   Yes, our Office 365 implementation includes comprehensive spam and virus scanning services.

7. What is OneDrive?

   OneDrive is a cloud storage and file-sharing solution that allows users to upload files, share them securely, or keep them private. It's accessible through both web browsers and desktop applications, with optional version control features.
