Catalina Island Customers - 2007 Consumer Confidence Report

SCE is required to test for a number of different contaminants in the Catalina Island Water System, with the timing of the sampling varying based on the State's requirements. In order to ensure that drinking water is safe to drink, USEPA and California Department of Health Services prescribe regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Department regulations also establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health.

Drinking water contaminants detected during tests in 2007 are listed on the Contaminant Testing Results page. An explanation of contaminant terms and abbreviations are also available. Note that the presence of the listed contaminants in water does not necessarily mean that the water poses a health risk and that all contaminants detected are below regulatory levels established by the DHS.
