clwalogo[CLWA] – Castaic Lake Water Agency, along with CLWA’s Santa Clarita Water Division, Los Angeles County Waterworks District #36, Newhall County Water District and Valencia Water Company continuously work to ensure you and your neighbors have a reliable and high quality water supply at a reasonable price. The California Department of Public Health requires water suppliers to provide all customers an annual report on the quality of drinking water and to show how it meets federal and state drinking water standards.

This 2013 Annual Water Quality Report describes in detail the quality of local water supplies in the Santa Clarita Valley during 2012. There is additional explanation of the requirements and test results in the Report. In previous years the report was mailed to customers. This year, due to a change in the law and a desire to save ratepayers money, the water suppliers are posting the report on their websites and mailing notices of its availability to customers.

Paper copies of the 2013 Water Quality Report can be obtained by contacting your local water retailer identified in the report.

    What a joke! Whoever submitted the samples and did the testing, obviously got it somewhere else. I do plumbing work, and have seen corroded and rusted out faucets less than 7 years old. Plumbers are staying busy in the area!
