September 2019 Highlights
PFAS – also known as "forever chemicals” – has received a lot of media attention recently.

EMWD is proud to say that its drinking water supplies meet all state and federal regulations, including those relating to testing for PFAS. The safety of your drinking water is paramount to our mission, and we continue to work hard so that you can be confident in your drinking water supplies.

EMWD wants its customers to be Sewer Smart to help do their part in keeping our waste water collection system safe and functioning.

This includes avoiding putting needles down the drain. When flushed, needles can clog EMWD’s system and are also dangerous to EMWD’s staff when they are working to clean and maintain the system. EMWD encourages customers to only flush bodily waste and toilet paper into the sewer system.

EMWD’s nationally-recognized Accelerated Retrofit Program was highlighted at the 2019 WateReuse Conference in San Diego in September.

The innovative program helps convert landscape irrigation sites from potable to recycled water. Doing so helps conserve our drinking water resources and helps further EMWD’s commitment toward using 100 percent of available recycled water supplies for beneficial reuse.
