PASADENA WATER AND POWER (PWP) has released the 2017 Consumer Confidence Report on Water Quality and have informed the public that Pasadena’s tap water meets all drinking water quality standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water (DDW). In 2017, Assembly Bill (AB) 746 directed the State Water Resources Control Board to require that all water providers conduct lead testing of its drinking water at public schools.
Pasadena is proud that PWP took the initiative prior to the state mandate taking effect, and offered lead testing of its drinking water to all public and private schools K-12 within the PWP’s service territory. For the upcoming year, PWP plans to update critical planning documents such as the Water System Master Plan and the Water Integrated Resource Plan, which serve as a key frameworks for identifying Pasadena’s growing water needs, addresses maintenance for aging infrastructure, and helps ensure we obtain reliable, cost-effective and environmentally responsible water supplies. Through education and a wide-range of incentives, PWP continues to encourage efficient water use. Drinking water is a precious and limited commodity, and we support embracing conservation as a “Way of Life.” To learn more about the quality of Pasadena’s drinking water, visit PWPweb.com/WaterQuality.
