RIVER DELTA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

WATER WELLS AND WATER QUALITY

The District has four water wells in use and one backup well. The following information will provide the locations of each well and tell how the quality of the water is protected.

All wells are monitored under Federal and State regulations known as Title 22 in California. These regulations require monitoring for contaminants known to cause health issues. More information on Title 22 can be found at the State Water Resource Control Board @www.waterboards.ca.gov.

The District is required to provide an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) which lists any contaminants that are detected in the testing of the water. While there are hundreds of chemicals and minerals on tested for only detected contaminants are on the report. A copy of the CCR’s for each well will be posted online before July 1st of each year starting in 2015.
