1. WHY T HIS MAT T ER IS BEFORE T HE BOARD
W ater Department staff has prepared the 201 4 Consumer Confidence Reports. Prior
to distributi on to our customers, staff revi ews the reports with the Board.
2. HIST ORY
The 1996 amendment to the Safe Drinking W ater Act requires water systems to
deliver to thei r custome rs an annual water qu ality report, referred to as the Consumer
Confi dence Report (CCR). The CCR summarizes an nual water quality i nformati on
i ncludi ng source water, levels of de tected contaminants, and compl i ance with
regulatory agenci es.
The District prepares two reports: one report for the Tru ckee-Main wa ter system and a
second report for the Hirschdal e water syste m. The State W ater Resources Control
Board (SW RCB) requi res the Di strict to mail o r direct d el i ver a copy of the appropriate
report to each of i ts customers no later than J uly 1st of each year. In 2012, the State
i ncluded a provision that allows the District to provide customers with a "one-cli ck"
webl i nk access to the CCR in lieu of mailing a printed copy.
3. NEW INFORMAT ION

Divi sion and approved b y the State W ater Resources Contol Board (SW RCB).
There were no reportab l e violations ove r the Maximum Contami nant Level s (MCL) set
by State and Federal re gulatory agencies.
Customers will be noti fied in thei r June month ly water and el ectric bills that the CCR's
are now ready to be viewed via a "one-clic k" l i n k on the Distri ct websi te. Printed
copies of the CCR will be made available for customers upon request. The Truckee-
Main W ater System and Hi rschdal e W a ter Syste m reports are included as
