TO: JEFFREY C. PARKER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: DOUGLAS S. STACK, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: SET PUBLIC HEARING FOR PUBLIC HEALTH GOALS (PHGs) 2013-2015
REPORT
SUMMARY
The California Health and Safety Code requires that water utility agencies with more than 10,000
service connections prepare a report every three years and conduct a public hearing to provide
information to consumers on the levels of contaminants in the City's drinking water.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council set a public hearing for July 5, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. to receive and
respond to public comments on the City of Tustin 2013-2015 Public Health Goals Report.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds are available in the Water Division Operating Budget to complete this report.
BACKGROUND
California's Health and Safety Code specifies that water utility systems larger than 10,000 service
connections prepare a report and conduct a public hearing if the system has contaminants above
the public health goals (PHGs) adopted by a California Office of Environmental Health Hazard
Assessment (OEHHA) or if contaminants occur above the Maximum Contaminant Level Goals
(MCLGs) adopted by the United Sates Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
The Public Health Goals report, along with an Annual Water Quality Report that is mailed to each
customer and available on the City's website, provide consumers with water contaminant
information and the cost to totally eliminate contaminants from a system's drinking water
regardless of how minimal the risks may be. Both reports are available for public review on the
City's website.
