Water Quality Assurance San Gabriel Valley Water Company is committed to ensuring the health and safety of our customers through rigorous water quality testing, following standards set by federal, state, and local agencies. The San Gabriel Valley faces water quality challenges due to industrial and commercial activities. However, by collaborating with partners at the local, state, and federal levels, we provide water that meets all drinking water quality standards. Our state-certified water treatment operators collect water samples, which are analyzed by an independent, certified laboratory. Results are reported monthly to the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water. Each year, a Consumer Confidence Report summarizes all water quality monitoring for San Gabriel. This report is available by July 1st for the previous calendar year in the Annual Water Quality Reports. Cloudy Water Why Does My Water Look Cloudy? Occasionally, your drinking water may appear cloudy or milky due to air bubbles in the water. This is harmless. After a few seconds, the bubbles will rise to the top and the water will clear. There is no health risk, and your water is safe to drink. Water Sources Potable Water San Gabriel Valley Water Company provides reliable, high-quality safe drinking water from a mix of sources. Our supply includes locally-produced groundwater from 28 wells in the Main San Gabriel Groundwater Basin and 2 wells in the Central Groundwater Basin. We also have access to imported water through a connection with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and maintain emergency connections with nearby water agencies to ensure supply reliability. Recycled Water Water recycling is a vital, locally available resource that helps conserve high-quality drinking water. Recycled water, unaffected by drought and regional shortages, reduces the need for costly imported water and supports our long-term water efficiency goals. Recycled water is treated and disinfected municipal wastewater, suitable for non-drinking uses, such as irrigation for parks, golf courses, highways, school grounds, athletic fields, and industrial applications. Several agencies in the San Gabriel Valley and surrounding areas are expanding recycled water projects. Through separate pipelines from potable water, recycled water from Los Angeles County’s San Jose Creek and Whittier Narrows Reclamation Plants supplies large landscapes, conserving over 8 million gallons of potable water annually. Water Treatment San Gabriel Valley Water Company uses "Best Available Treatment Technologies" to ensure drinking water is safe and free from harmful chemicals before delivery. Our team includes highly qualified, state-certified operators who maintain and operate a variety of treatment facilities. These facilities use advanced technologies to remove or reduce volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, inorganics, and disinfection by-products. San Gabriel’s treatment facilities include: Air Strippers and Liquid Phase Granular Activated Carbon for removing volatile organic compounds Ion-Exchange Systems to remove perchlorate salts Advanced Oxidation with UV Light to treat 1,4-Dioxane and N-Nitrosodimethylamine Regenerable Ion Exchange System for nitrate removal We also use chlorination with sodium hypochlorite to disinfect and eliminate potential viruses and bacteria. Public Health Goal Report San Gabriel is required to provide a Public Health Goals (PHGs) report every three years for customers. This report includes information on any contaminants detected above the levels set by the State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) or Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. PHGs and MCLGs are not water quality standards; they indicate extremely small risk levels. The PHG report explains potential risks associated with specific substances and provides cost estimates to reduce those contaminants to undetectable levels. 2025 Public Health Goal Report Lead and Copper Monitoring San Gabriel Valley Water Company has monitored lead and copper levels at customer taps across its distribution system since the late 1990s to comply with the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). This federal regulation, enforced by the California State Water Resources Control Board, requires water providers to test for lead and copper every three years. Under the LCR, if lead exceeds 15 parts per billion or copper exceeds 1.3 parts per million in more than 10% of sampled taps, the provider must take corrective action. San Gabriel has never exceeded this 10% action level since the rule's implementation in 2014. For detailed results, please see our Annual Water Quality Reports.

San Gabriel Valley Water Company is dedicated to safeguarding our water resources and supporting our customers in their conservation efforts. As part of California’s push for greater water efficiency, we have developed programs to ensure a reliable water supply for the future. To reduce water loss, we maintain and upgrade our wells, pumps, reservoirs, and water mains, investing in new leak detection technology and training our field staff. We also offer educational programs and plumbing retrofits to help customers use water more efficiently. Drought Alert Announcement on California's Drought Conditions On March 24, 2023, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-7-22, easing some drought emergency measures due to improved water conditions. However, Executive Order N-5-23 maintains certain restrictions to support communities still experiencing water challenges and to build long-term resilience. Current Drought Status While recent storms have provided relief, California remains in a drought emergency. Many regions, especially those relying on depleted groundwater, continue to face water supply shortages. The following restrictions remain in effect: Prohibited Water Uses Outdoor watering that causes runoff onto sidewalks and hard surfaces (except incidental runoff) Washing vehicles without a shutoff nozzle Washing driveways or sidewalks that don’t absorb water Street cleaning or construction site preparation with water Filling decorative fountains, lakes, or ponds without a recirculating pump Outdoor watering within 48 hours of at least 1/4 inch of rainfall Watering decorative grass on public medians and non-functional turf in commercial, industrial, and HOA common areas Water Conservation Tips Outdoor Tips Limit yard watering to three days per week, no more than 10 minutes per station, and water early. Fix indoor and outdoor leaks within 5 days. Adjust sprinklers to prevent overspray and runoff. Replace lawns with California-friendly plants to save thousands of gallons monthly. Use a broom or leaf blower instead of a hose to clean outdoor areas, saving up to 6 gallons per minute. Indoor Tips Fix leaking faucets and running toilets to save up to 20 gallons daily. Fill the bathtub halfway or less to save 17-25 gallons per bath. Wash full loads of laundry to save 15-45 gallons per load. Use a dishwasher instead of handwashing to save up to 24 gallons per load.

Customer Water Supply Gate Valve Every home or building has a water supply gate valve, used to shut off water during repairs or emergencies. Locate this valve in advance, and ensure everyone in your household knows how to use it to prevent leaks and flooding.

Learn More Your Meter Meter Reading and Leak Detection Guide Meter Reading Schedule We read all meters every 27 to 33 days, organized by geographical groups to keep costs low. Contact Customer Service to find out your next scheduled reading date. How to Read Your Water Meter Classic Meter Reads like a car odometer but measures water in cubic feet. Each cubic foot equals 7.48 gallons, and bills are calculated in units of 100 cubic feet (Ccf), or 748 gallons. The last two black-background numbers are ignored in billing. Example: Initial reading: 0000 New reading: 0012 Usage: 12 Ccf (1,200 cubic feet or 8,976 gallons) AMR (Automated Meter Reading) Meter Displays total water used in cubic feet. The last five digits are ignored in billing. Example: Initial reading: 000,0 New reading: 001,2 Usage: 12 Ccf (1,200 cubic feet or 8,976 gallons) How to Check for Leaks Classic Meter Turn off all water sources. Check the meter’s sweep hand position. Wait 10-15 minutes, then recheck. If the hand has moved, a leak is present. AMR Meter Look for the faucet icon on the LCD: No Icon: No leak detected in the past 24 hours. Flashing Icon: Intermittent leak detected in the last 24 hours. Check faucets and toilets. Solid Icon: Continuous leak in the last 24 hours. Check the 9th digit on the LCD. If incrementing, inspect faucets, toilets, and exterior areas for leaks. For assistance, contact Customer Service at (626) 448-6183. Frequently Asked Questions Why is there a monthly service charge, even if I don’t use water? The service charge portion of your bill is designed to recover a portion of the total costs incurred in providing water service. These costs include operating and maintaining the supply, treatment, distribution and service facilities that are needed to provide water service to your home or business. This charge appears on every bill and does not vary with consumption, but is related to the size and flow capacity of your meter. Monthly Service Charge is a Readiness-to-serve It pays for our infrastructure. It pays for having water 24 hours a day on demand. It pays for upgrades to our water mains, reservoirs, wells and hydrants. It pays for safe drinking water that meets state and federal drinking standards. It ensures we have someone available 24/7, even after hours. It pays for having someone come to your property after hours and on weekends in an emergency. Why wasn’t I notified about a water service interruption? We strive to avoid unplanned water outages. However, unexpected issues, such as water main breaks, can occur. For planned interruptions, we notify customers in person or with door hangers detailing the expected hours of interruption. How can I get a temporary construction fire hydrant meter? Submit an application with a $2,500 deposit to San Gabriel Valley Water Company, specifying the job location. Water costs and a $60 handling fee will be deducted from the deposit once the undamaged meter is returned. Damaged meters or failure to pay bills may result in forfeiture of part or all of the deposit. What are the Customer Service hours?

- Emergency Preparedness Guide | SGV Water Company
Emergency Preparedness Guide Customer Assistance Program (CAP) Emergencies can be chaotic. Having a well-prepared emergency kit and knowing what to do in advance can make all the difference. Here’s how to get started: Home Emergency Kit Essentials Prepare a backpack or duffle bag with these key items: Important Documents: Photocopies of ID, credit cards, deeds, insurance policies, and a home inventory. Cash: A small amount of cash or traveler’s checks. Medical Needs: Medications, wheelchair and hearing-aid batteries, contact lens solution, etc. Pet Supplies: Food, leash, carrier, and vet records. Food and Water: Three days’ worth, including pet supplies. (One gallon of water per person per day is recommended.) Cooking Essentials: Can opener, paper plates, plastic utensils. Tools and Safety: Flashlight, extra batteries, portable radio, first-aid kit, matches, whistle, and a fire extinguisher. Other Supplies: Extra clothes, blankets, hygiene items (toilet paper, moist towelettes), pliers or a wrench, local maps, and garbage bags. Store these items in a cool, dry place in a portable container (like a backpack, duffle bag, or container with a lid). Review and update your kit yearly. Knowledge Checklist In addition to supplies, being informed is critical. Here’s what you should know: Disaster Awareness: Understand the types of disasters likely to occur in your area (e.g., floods, earthquakes, fires). Learn Key Skills: Know first aid, CPR, and how to use a fire extinguisher. Utility Shut-Offs: Learn how to safely turn off gas and electricity. Consult a professional for guidance specific to your home. Family Emergency Plan: Create a plan with your family, including escape routes, meeting points, and contact methods. Ensure everyone knows where the emergency kit and utility shut-offs are located. Water Preparedness In emergencies, water may be unavailable. Here’s how much to store: Basic Needs: At least one gallon of water per person per day. Half a gallon for drinking, half a gallon for cooking and cleaning. Children, nursing mothers, and people with health conditions may need more. Store extra water for medical needs and hot weather. Water Storage Tips: Use sealed, commercially bottled water or food-grade storage containers. Store water in a cool, dry place, replacing non-bottled water every six months. For reusing large plastic bottles, clean, sanitize with bleach (one teaspoon per quart of water), rinse, fill, and add two drops of bleach before sealing. Label with the date and store in a dark place. Emergency Water Management If there’s a water emergency, follow these steps: Shut Off Water: If you hear of broken water lines or tainted water, turn off your house valve (not the valve at the street). Water Use Tips: Don’t ration water unless advised; drink at least a quart per day. Avoid drinking untreated water from faucets, streams, or ponds unless necessary. Access water in pipes by opening the lowest faucet in the house. For hot water tanks, turn off electricity/gas, open the drain, close the intake valve, and open a hot water faucet. Refill before turning the tank back on. Avoid drinking water from radiators, boilers, water beds, pools, or spas. By preparing in advance and staying informed, you can better manage in an emergency and protect your family’s health and safety.
