PWS = Public Water System
*Calculated field
Non-potable = water supplies, except recycled water, that do not enter the drinking water distribution system and are for non-potable uses only such as irrigation
Recycled = domestic wastewater which as a result of treatment is suitable for uses other than potable use such as irrigation or toilet flushing
1Only report Maximum Day if it is actually measured or determined from production records. It should not be the average day demand during
the maximum month of production.
2Do not include raw water purchased; report only volume of water that was treated.
3(F) Total Amount of Potable Water = Sum of Columns (C), (D) and (E), automatically calculated. Total water production includes water that is sold to another water system. To update, click below
4This is the percentage of the total annual volume for Groundwater produced that was provided treatment to meet drinking water standards other than precautionary disinfection and fluoridation.

| B. SENSITIVITY AND MAGNITUDE OF IMPACTS | |||||||||||
Qualitatively assess climate change sensitivity of your facilities, and criticality or consequence of disruption. Consider identified climate threats using past experience, and expert judgement based on the magnitude of expected change and extreme events in the future. You do not need numeric answers. USEPA provides a risk assessment tool, called CREAT, to help utilities identify which environmental changes can impact water supply: https://www.epa.gov/crwu/build-resilience-your-utility.

ONLY FOR COMMUNITY WATER SYSTEMS
Your water system classification is: Community Water System
Section 116885 of the California Health and Safety Code, Lead Service Lines in Public Water Systems, added to the Health and Safety Code by Senate Bill 1398 (2016) and amended by Senate Bill 427 (2017), requires all community water systems (CWS) to compile an inventory of known partial or total lead user service lines in use in its distribution system by July 1, 2017. All CWSs will need to provide DDW an inventory form through this 2017 electronic annual report (eAR) explaining how the inventory was determined and the results. DDW is utilizing this 2017 electronic annual report (eAR) to gather and update this information.
IMPORTANT: In the 2017 electronic Annual Report, all CWSs were required to submit the lead service line inventory to the DDW. The INVENTORY TABLE below were PRE-FILLED with information provided in the 2017 eAR, please review the table below and take this opportunity to make changes and update your inventory. All pipe materials that does not apply to your system must not be left blank. You must enter zero, otherwise errors will be generated at the end of the eAR report.
The inventory must include all user service lines that are active and those that are reasonably expected to become active in the future. Also, Section 116885 requires that CWS identify areas that may have lead user service lines in use, and/or identify any areas within the CWS distribution system that the CWS cannot identify the material that is being used for the service line. If a CWS indicates the existence of lead user service lines or unknown material user service lines or lead/unknown fittings associated with user service lines, by July 1, 2020, the CWS will need to submit to DDW a timeline to replace all lead and unknown material user service lines. Please include the updated information on your user service line inventory below so DDW can track the progress of your system. For additional information, please visit
