Consumer Confidence Reports Show Excellent Water Quality in California

California American Water published the 2018 Consumer Confidence Reports, which demonstrate high quality water service throughout its state districts. The annual reports compare California American Water’s water quality with standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water.

The reports also cover drinking water sources, public health information, substances detected in the water and the levels of those substances. Commonly asked questions and answers concerning drinking water are also included.

The reports continue a new design that feature illustrated sections of common containments and simple-to-read explanations of the various technical terms within the document.

“We are pleased to announce that our 2018 reports demonstrate excellent water quality that meet and exceed all regulatory standards,” said Rich Svindland, President of California American Water. “We hope that customers will find these reports as educational and helpful in answering the questions they may have about the state of their water.”
