FROM: Earl Smith, Water Operations Manager
SUBJECT: Workshop: 2020 Water Utility Consumer Confidence Reports
APPROVED BY______________________________
Brian C. Wright, Interim General Manager/
Water Utility Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Review the Truckee Donner Public Utility District’s, Truckee-Main System and Hirschdale
System 2020 Water Quality Consumer Confidence Reports and provide feedback to staff
for public distribution.
BACKGROUND: The 1996 amendment to the US EPA Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
requires public water systems to deliver to their customers an annual water quality report,
referred to as the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). The CCR summarizes annual water
quality information including source water, levels of detected contaminants, and compliance
with regulatory agencies.
Each year the District prepares individual reports for the Truckee Main System and the
Hirschdale System. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) requires that the
District mail or direct deliver a copy of the appropriate report to each of its customers no later
than July 1st of each year. In 2012, the SWRCB included a provision that allows the District to
provide customers with notice and a “one-click” web link access to the CCR in lieu of mailing a
printed copy.
The 2020 CCRs have been prepared by the District’s Water Department for the Truckee-Main
System and Hirschdale System. Each of the reports have been submitted to the SWRCB for
compliance.
There were no reportable violations over the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) set by State
and Federal regulatory agencies.
Customers will be notified in their June monthly water bills, via a District “bill stuffer” or e-
notification, that the CCR is now available to be viewed via a “one-click” link on the District’s
website. Printed copies of the CCR will be made available for customers upon request. The
Truckee Main System and Hirschdale System reports are included as Attachments 1 and 2
respectively.
