Review the 2023 Water Quality Report Now

Post Date: 06/27/2024 9:58 AM

Each year, LVMWD collects over 1,200 samples from our distribution system and conducts more than 11,000 tests on those samples. The results, along with those from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) on the treated source water imported by LVMWD, are compiled into our annual Consumer Confidence Report/Water Quality Report (CCR/WQR).

This report is distributed to customers and residents in our service area by July 1st each year, in accordance with federal and state regulations.

The CCR/WQR is an annual report detailing the quality and safety of the water we deliver to our customers and provides information on various contaminants and their regulatory levels. This transparency assures customers of their water's quality. These tests are conducted in the District’s state-certified lab at the Tapia Water Reclamation Facility by highly trained and certified staff.

The report also includes testing data from MWD on the water from the Jensen Treatment Plant, further ensuring transparency and building trust in our products and services within our communities.

This year the report once again showed that LVMWD water met or exceeded all federal and state drinking water regulations. These regulations, set by the Environmental Protection Agency and California Division of Drinking Water, ensure the water we serve is safe and clean. Our water is as clean, and often cleaner and safer, than bottled water, which can contain microplastics and plastic-related chemicals. Additionally, the CCR/WQR offers valuable information on LVMWD, lead and copper testing, and emerging contaminants such as PFAS/PFOA.

Our mission is to provide high-quality water service in a cost-effective and environmentally sensitive manner. To be more cost-effective, we transitioned to digital distribution of the report in 2019, reducing costs and improving accessibility. This year we continue to improve accessibility for visually impaired individuals who use adaptive screen readers with our online version of the report.

“We are always looking for ways to make District operations more effective, efficient, and accessible for all our customers while ensuring our customers have the important information on how the water we serve is monitored, tested and delivered in a way that ensures public health” stated LVMWD Board President Jay Lewitt.
