The water system is <br />comprised of approximately 480 miles of water main, 21 groundwater wells, seven <br />pump stations, 10 reservoirs with a storage capacity of 49 million gallons, four pressure <br />regulating stations, and seven connection points to the Metropolitan Water District. The <br />system has an average daily demand of 30 million gallons from its roughly 45,150 <br />metered service connections. <br />On April 10, 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released new <br />regulations regarding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which set the <br />maximum contamination levels (MCLs) for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and <br />perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) at four parts per trillion. All community water <br />providers are required to meet this threshold for water supplied. If water providers <br />cannot meet these thresholds and do not install water treatment to remove PFAS from <br />the water, the water provider must remove the supply from its distribution system. <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 12 – 1 2/18/2025
