About Us
Where Does Your Tap Water Come From and Is It Safe? All water supplied to Pico Water District customers is drawn from groundwater wells within our service area. This Water Quality Report confirms that Pico Water District water meets all federal and state requirements for safe municipal water.
How Is Your Municipal Water Tested? Your tap water undergoes systematic testing for hazardous levels of chemicals, radioactivity, and bacteria both at the source and throughout the distribution system. Testing frequencies vary from weekly to annually depending on the substance, as state and federal regulations permit less frequent testing for compounds whose levels remain stable over time. All water quality assessments are conducted by certified technicians in state-approved laboratories.
Understanding Water Quality Standards: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) sets limits on certain substances in tap water. In California, the State Water Resources Control Board's Division of Drinking Water enforces standards that are typically more stringent than federal requirements. These limits, called standards, fall into two categories:
- Primary standards protect against substances that could affect your health
- Secondary standards regulate aesthetic qualities of water
Regulations establish Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for both primary and secondary standards. Public Health Goals (PHGs) provided by the California Environmental Protection Agency offer additional information similar to federal Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs). Both PHGs and MCLGs are non-enforceable advisory levels below which no health risks are anticipated.
Reading Your Water Quality Report: Although we test for over 100 substances, regulations only require reporting those detected in your water. In the water quality table, the first column shows the average concentration found, while the next column shows the range. These can be compared against the MCL to assess compliance. Exceeding a primary MCL typically triggers more frequent monitoring rather than indicating an immediate health risk.
Why Water Quality Makes Headlines: Sources of municipal water (both tap and bottled) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over land or underground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and can pick up substances from animal or human activities.

Pico WD Drinking Water Company and EPAPico WD Municipal Water Report Information
Our History: The Pico Rivera area was predominantly agricultural in the late 1800s, focusing on walnut cultivation along with corn, grapes, avocados and other fruits. Early residential development in the late 19th and early 20th centuries relied on individual water systems serving specific developments.
Pico Water District was established in 1926 as a County Water District under the State Water Act of 1913, initially serving 243 homes in what was then unincorporated Pico (before Pico Rivera's incorporation in 1958). Prior to the District's formation, five small water systems with groundwater wells served these residents, but those living far from wells experienced inadequate water pressure.
The Pico-Rivera Chamber of Commerce championed the District's creation, demonstrating to residents that maintaining and increasing property values required an improved water system. Because the estimated property valuation didn't meet the $1 million threshold needed to secure $130,000 in bonds for the new system, residents persuaded local farmers to join the District to exceed this requirement.
The first elected directors were Donald H. Lycan, Virgil M. Robinson, George Wells, Charles A. Thomas and Harlan A. Cate (for whom Cate Reservoir is named), with their inaugural meeting held September 20, 1926.
The District has grown steadily from its initial 243 service connections to 608 in 1936, 1,048 in 1946, 4,765 in 1956 (showing significant post-World War II expansion), 5,076 in 1966, 5,233 in 1976, reaching 5,403 connections in 2008 serving a 2.87 square mile area.
Today the District delivers water using six wells producing between 600-1800 gallons per minute and one 1.25 million gallon reservoir. All water comes from the adjudicated Central Basin aquifer. In 2008, the Board of Directors commissioned a comprehensive Water Master Plan to identify improvement areas and guide strategic decisions enhancing system reliability and efficiency.
