STRATEGIC PLAN GUIDING PRINCIPLE Excellence in Government Operations BACKGROUND The City of Redwood City is required by the California Health and Safety Code to prepare a brief report regarding the public water system when it detects one or more contaminants in drinking water exceeding the applicable public health goal (PHG). A PHG is a non-enforceable goal established by the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and is not to be confused with a Maximum Contaminant Level or an Action Level. A Maximum Contaminant Level is the enforceable level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water as established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water (DDW). An Action Level is the enforceable level for lead or copper that is allowed in drinking water as established by the EPA and DDW. The California Health and Safety Code specifies that every three years, public water systems serving more than 10,000 service connections shall prepare a brief report to inform the public of any contaminant exceeding the applicable PHG.
