EMWD Releases Annual Water Quality Report

From Eastern Municipal Water District: Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) has released its 2017 Consumer Confidence Report, which provides customers information about water quality and sources of their drinking water supplies.

EMWD has again surpassed every federal and state drinking water standard, as set forth by the State
Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Drinking Water and the United States Environmental
Protection Agency.

Water samples are collected throughout the year from EMWD’s 29 drinking water sources to
carefully test for 200 contaminants and impurities. In 2016, EMWD’s laboratory personnel collected
7,316 water samples and performed 40,060 tests to monitor and ensure quality.

“EMWD is strongly committed toward providing our customers a safe and reliable water supply and
we are proud to again fulfill that responsibility,” EMWD President David Slawson said. “We
encourage our customers to review the science-based Consumer Confidence Report and learn about
the high-quality drinking water that EMWD delivers to its customers each day.”

The report is issued electronically and is available on EMWD’s website at www.emwd.org/2017ccr.
All customers will receive a postcard providing notification that the report is available online.
Customers who have previously submitted requests to receive printed copies will receive them via
postal delivery.
