Fallbrook PUD

The sources of our water may include rivers, ponds, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and water wells. As water moves over the surface from the land or throughout the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive materials, and can pick up chemicals resulting from the presence of pets or liveliness. Type of water resources in use: While FPUD is a water merchant, virtually all of our drinking water is purchased from your San Diego County Drinking water Authority, which buys much of its drinking water from the Metropolitan Drinking water District of El monte. Virtually all tap water shipped by FPUD is usually treated at Metropolitan’s Lake Skinner Purification Plant in Riverside County. Name & location of source(s): FPUD receives almost all its water coming from two sources: a 242-mile-long aqueduct that brings Colorado Water water from Pond Havasu to El Monte, and another 444-mile-long aqueduct that bears water from the Down River in north California through the Delta to State Water Task contractors throughout the condition. One percent of FPUD water originates from our Capra Well, when available. Water source assessment info: About one percent of FPUD drinking water comes from our Capra Well. A source water assessment was carried out on the water system in-may 2004. The very well is considered most susceptible to low-density septic devices, agricultural/irrigation wells, and historic mining procedures. Discussion of vulnerability: The Capra Well is within a rural region close to Red Hill with few actions that could potentially ruin the water supply. The sole significant possible damaging activities observed are a pesticide and fertilizer use in the lines in the general space around the well. This year, any water coming from Capra Well was diverted to Red Hill Reservoir where it is treated through ULTRAVIOLET disinfection. Safety is usually our #1 concern! Drinking water, including water in bottles, may reasonably be anticipated to contain a small amount of some pollutants. The presence of contaminants will not necessarily indicate the water poses a health risk. Someplace of regularly planned board meetings: Every single fourth Monday from the month at four p. m. inside the district boardroom, located at 990 Electronic. Mission Road. They may be open to the public. To find out more contact: Jason Cavender, System Operations Supervisor, (760) 728-1125. Put into effect Extra Measures to Disinfect Our Drinking water at Red Hill Reservoir The District’s Red Mountain Tank is an open tank with a capacity of 440 million gallons and is used to shop treated water bought from the San Diego Region Water Authority. The open reservoir fulfilled the health standards during when it was built in 1949 and was reconstructed and lined in 85, and it has continued to meet or perhaps exceed water top quality standards. Drainage collection and diversion abandons prevent local runoff water from getting into the reservoir. The reservoir is inspected at least twice daily. Bacteriological tests are used once a week. FPUD improved its chlorination services in early 2010 simply by installing Ultraviolet Technology (UV Technology) for more disinfection. The water the District purchases from your Water Authority is a blend of fully-treated Co River and Condition Water Project drinking water that receives total conventional treatment, along with ozone treatment - a cutting edge, high-quality disinfection procedure. The water is cured at the Metropolitan Drinking water District’s Skinner Purification Plant. The water sent to Red Mountain includes a chloramine (a mixture of chlorine and ammonia) disinfectant residual..
