Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
______________________________________________________________________ RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE 2022 REPORT ON WATER QUALITY PUBLIC HEALTH GOALS REPORT Provisions of the California Health and Safety Code section 116470(b) specify that public water systems with more than 10,000 service connections are required to prepare a special report, which provides information on the detection of any contaminants in drinking water measured above the established PHGs (Public Health Goal) published by the State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), and MCLGs (Maximum Contaminant Level Goal) set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA); and The Report on Water Quality Public Health Goals is unique to California and required in addition to the extensive public reporting of water quality information that California water utilities provide, including the annual Consumer Confidence Reports; and The City of Stockton’s Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) is legally required to prepare a Water Quality Public Health Goals Report every three years. This report provides information on the MUD’s drinking water quality delivered within the City’s service area and compares it to State PHGs and Federal MCLGs. However, PHGs and MCLGs are not enforceable water quality standards; and The 2022 Report lists constituents found in the City’s water system detected above PHGs and/or MCLGs during calendar years 2019, 2020 and 2021. Any listed contaminants were below the established MCLs; and therefore, the City’s water system remains in compliance with the regulatory MCL standards; and The 2022 Report concludes that the City’s drinking water quality meets all State of California, Environmental Protection Agency and United States Environmental Protection Agency drinking water standards set to protect public health; and Staff recommends that the City Council accept the 2022 Public Health Goals Report; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
Accept the 2022 Report on Water Quality Public Health Goals, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by this reference.
The City Manager is hereby authorized to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED September 27, 2022 .
