The Santa Clarita Valley Family of Water Suppliers has released the 2016 Annual Water Quality Report online for review by local residents.

As required by the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water, local water agencies are required to provide customers with an annual report on the quality of their drinking water, and to demonstrate how it meets federal and state drinking water standards.

The 2016 Annual Water Quality Report describes in detail the quality of local water supplies in the Santa Clarita Valley during 2015. In addition, customers can read explanations of the requirements and test results contained in the report.

This year, the SCV Family of Water Suppliers is posting the report on each agency’s website and mailing notices of availability to customers in an effort to save ratepayers money while complying with the law.

In addition to checking their water supplier’s website, residents can also access the 2016 Annual Water Quality Report on the SCV Family of Water Suppliers website here, or the Castaic Lake Water Agency website here.

Paper copies of the 2016 Annual Water Quality Report can be obtained by contacting your local water retailer.

The Santa Clarita Valley Family of Water Suppliers consists of the Castaic Lake Water Agency, CLWA Santa Clarita Water Division, Los Angeles County Waterworks District No. 36, Newhall County Water District and the Valencia Water Company.
