Resource Water Assessments Brought in Water Assessment Every single five years, MWD is required by DDW to examine possible causes of drinking water contamination in the State Water Task and Colorado Water source waters. The newest watershed sanitary studies of its resource water supplies from your Colorado River were updated in 2015 and the State Drinking water Project was up-to-date in 2016. The Irvine Ranch Drinking water District watershed hygienic survey for Santiago Reservoir (Irvine Lake) was updated found in 2014. Water from your Colorado River is considered most vulnerable to contaminants from recreation, urban/stormwater runoff, an increasing estate in the watershed, and wastewater. Water provides from Northern California’s State Water Task are most susceptible to contamination from urban/stormwater runoff, wildlife, farming, recreation, and sewage. Water supplies from your Santiago Reservoir are most vulnerable to contaminants from landfill/dumps, grazing animals and solid waste systems. USEPA likewise requires water purveyors to complete 1 Source Water Evaluation (SWA) that utilizes information collected inside the watershed sanitary studies. MWD completed the SWA in Dec 2002. The most recent SWA for Santiago Tank was completed in 2001. The SWA is utilized to evaluate the weaknesses of water resources to contamination helping determine whether even more protective measures are needed. A copy of the very most recent summary from the Watershed Sanitary Studies or the Source Drinking water Assessments can be found around the SCWD website at www.scwd.org or simply by calling the Area at (949) 499-4555, ext 1. Groundwater Assessment An evaluation of South Coastline Water District’s groundwater source was designed in June 2007.
