FROM: DOUGLAS S. STACK, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: SET PUBLIC HEARING FOR WATER QUALITY REPORT ON PUBLIC HEALTH
GOALS (PHGs) 2019-2021
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 levels of contaminants in the City's drinking water.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council set a public hearing for July 19, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. to receive
and respond to public comments on the 2019-2021 Public Health Goal Report.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding was appropriated in the Water Division Operating Budget to complete this report.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
This effort contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal D: Strong Community and
Regional Relationships. Specifically, the action implements Strategy 1, which among other things, is
to strengthen community engagement with all sectors.
BACKGROUND
Provisions of the California Health and Safety Code, Section 116470(b), require public water systems
serving more than 10,000 service connections to prepare a brief, written report (in plain language)
containing information on the "detection" of any contaminants above the Public Health Goals (PHGs)
published by the State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). The report
must also list the "detection" of any contaminants above the Maximum Contaminant Level Goals
(MCLGs) set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for all other
contaminants until such a time that OEHHA has published PHG's for those contaminants.
The first PHG report was prepared in July 2001, and must be prepared every three years thereafter.
The last report was received by City Council on July 16, 2019. The City of Tustin is providing an
updated report, completed July 1, 2022, in conformance with this requirement. Both the PHG Report
and the Annual Water Quality Reports are available on the City's website.
