The Division of Drinking Water under the California State Water Resource Control Board regulates public drinking water systems (for a copy of latest drinking water standards visit: https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/drinking_water/programs/index.shtml). The SVAWPC facility is currently not licensed for drinking water. However, the plant’s finished water quality meets ALL California Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Standards (a.k.a. as “Maximum Contaminant Levels”). The facility is currently a demonstration plant undergoing continuous improvements to prove to ourselves, our regulators, and the public we serve that we can consistently and reliably produce safe clean drinking water over the long run (including removal of any chemical of emerging concern). In the meantime, plant operators are also evaluating, testing, piloting modeling, and designing future expanded uses of purified water such as groundwater recharge.
