Source water assessment from Indian Valley CSD Consumer Confidence Report:
The plant was evaluated by the state in April 2003 to determine if there were possible contaminating activities that might compromise the quality of the water. Due to the detection of nitrate at that time, the source was considered vulnerable to a low density (<1 per acre) of systems in the area. The source could also be vulnerable to recreational activity on or near the reservoir.

Treatment regime

How this utility classifies its treatment process and what each reported treatment chemical does.

Treatment classification
Standard
Disinfection plus one or more treatment additives — typically corrosion control, pH adjustment, or fluoridation. Standard regime for utilities serving treated municipal water.

Treatment chemicals and what each one does

Chemical names are reported verbatim by the utility. Purpose categories are ZipCheckup annotations based on standard drinking-water treatment practice.

Disinfectant
Inactivates bacteria, viruses, and parasites in the treated water.
