Victorville Water District

WATER IN ENVIRONMENTAL SURROUNDINGS The sources associated with drinking water (both faucet water and bottled water) consist of rivers, lakes, channels, ponds, reservoirs, comes, and wells. As water travels over the top of land or with the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring mineral deposits and, in a few cases, radioactive materials, and can get substances resulting in the presence of creatures or from human being activity. Contaminants that may be present in supply water include Microbial pollutants, such as infections and bacteria, that could come from sewage remedy plants, septic techniques, agricultural livestock procedures, and wildlife. Inorganic pollutants, such as salts as well as metals, that could be naturally-occurring or derive from urban stormwater runoff, commercial or domestic wastewater discharges, gas and oil production, mining, or even farming. Pesticides as well as herbicides, that may come from several sources such because of agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, as well as residential uses. Natural chemical contaminants, such as synthetic and unstable organic chemicals, which are by-products of commercial processes and oil production, and may also come from gasoline stations, urban stormwater runoff, farming application, and septic techniques. Radioactive contaminants, that may be naturally-occurring or be caused by oil and gasoline production and exploration activities. WATER QUALITY STANDARDS To be able to ensure that faucet water is secure to drink, the State Water Assets Control Board (State Board) recommend regulations that limit the number of certain contaminants in water supplied by public water techniques. Department regulations additionally establish limits concerning contaminants in bottled water that offer the same safety for public wellness. FOR MORE INFO Drinking water, including bottled water may reasonably be anticipated to contain a minimum of small amounts associated with some contaminants. The presence of contaminants doesn't necessarily indicate which water poses health risk. More information regarding contaminants and possible health effects can be acquired by calling the actual USEPA’s Safe Consuming Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Many people may be more susceptible to contaminants in drinking water compared to the general population. Immuno-compromised persons for example persons with most cancers undergoing chemotherapy, persons who've undergone organ transplants, individuals with HIV/AIDS or other defense mechanisms disorders, some seniors, and infants could be particularly at danger from infections. These folks should seek guidance about drinking water using their health care companies. USEPA/Centers for Illness Control (CDC) recommendations on appropriate ways to lessen the danger of infection by Cryptosporidium along with other microbial contaminants can be found from the Secure Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). H2O SOURCE ASSESSMENT AS WELL AS PROTECTION PROGRAM The source water evaluation was conducted for those wells of Victorville Water District to provide drinking water to customers. The evaluation, in compliance along with California water high-quality regulations, assists the Area in identifying potential causes of contamination, and to build up methods to safeguard the water provide. All new wells are put through an assessment before being placed into service. According to towards the assessment, the underground aquifer that's the source of supply for that District’s wells is potentially susceptible to contamination from a number of sources, including: industrial, industrial, and home sewer collection techniques; high and reduced density septic techniques; mall parking plenty; high-density real estate; other water provide wells; storm deplete discharge points; navy, truck, and coach terminals; injection water wells, dry wells, as well as sumps; RV as well as mini storage; transport corridors, including freeways, condition highways, roads, as well as streets; and service provider and government company equipment storage back yards; automobile gas channels; hardware, lumber, as well as parts stores; additional water supply water wells; automobile repair stores; monitoring, test, shot, and dry water wells, and sumps; as well as motor pools. The District frequently monitors the water quality in most groundwater wells delivering water to Area customers and there have been no detected contaminants in the sources listed over. A copy from the complete assessment(s) is/are readily available for public inspection in the Public Works/ Water counter on the second floor associated with Victorville City Corridor by contacting Water Provide Supervisor, Arnold Villarreal from (760) 955-2993 or in the State Water Assets Control Board-Division associated with Drinking Water, SWRCB-DDW, San Bernardino Area Office located from 464 West 4th Street, Suite 437, San Bernardino, CALIFORNIA. 92401. You may request a directory of the assessment(s) be delivered to you by contacting their state Water Resources Manage Board-Division of Consuming Water, SWRCBDDW.
