MEETING DATE: April 5, 2023
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Chad J. Reed, Water Utility Director
SUBJECT: Workshop: 2022 Water Utility Annual Consumer Confidence
Reports
APPROVED BY ..
Brian C. Wright; General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Review the Truckee Donner Public Utility District's Truckee-Main System and Hirschdale
System 2022 Water Quality Consumer Confidence Reports.
BACKGROUND: The 1996 amendment to the US EPA Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
requires urban water systems to deliver 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. However, 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.
ANALYSIS:
The 2022 CCRs have been prepared by the District's Water Department for the Truckee-Main
System and Hirschdale System. Each of the reports will be submitted to the SWRCB for
compliance.
Truckee and the surrounding basin are very fortunate to have access to high quality water in
the Martis Valley Aquifer. During the 2022 period the District has continue to operate with no
reportable violations over the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL). Water quality is a top
priority to the District staff. During the past year, District staff took over 520 bacteriological
samples and monitored for hundreds of other chemical compounds. All samples were
processed through a third party California State certified laboratories. The District uses these
highly reputable labs to increase transparency and ensure only the highest quality of water is
