DWR structures that name this system

Source Probable join · fetched 2026-09-09 · matched on DWR's recorded contact or an EPA intake name; verify on the dossier

1 structure on DWR's record 1 matches an EPA intake by name. A match says who DWR lists, not who owns the water: a ditch company can own the headgate while the system owns shares, and a consultant can be the contact. The dossier holds the decree.

Lead and copper: the latest 90th-percentile lead result is 0.0006 mg/L (sampling period ending 2025-12-31) against an action level of 0.015 mg/L; 6 results on file.

SDWIS federal reporting carries violations and lead/copper percentiles only; nitrate, disinfection by-product and PFAS sample results are not in it. Codes are EPA's (violation, contaminant, rule); the ECHO report expands them.

PFAS and lithium: EPA's UCMR 5 monitoring, 2023–2025
