13. Water Action Plan
On December 15, 2005, the Commission adopted a WAP that identified policy objectives to guide it in regulating investor-owned water utilities and highlighted actions to implement the policy objectives. Those policy objectives were four fold: (1) high quality and safe water, (2) highly reliable water supplies, (3) efficient use of water, and (4) reasonable rates and viable utilities.
SGV provided a report on implementation of the Commission's WAP for its LA Division that assessed the many separate elements of its water production, storage, distribution, and treatment facilities and operations. It also provided a road map for future utility plant additions for production, storage, distribution and water treatment. With no party raising any issue with regard to the accuracy or sufficiency of its implementation of the WAP, we find SGV's response to be satisfactory.
SGV and DRA provided testimony on the LA Division's compliance with the WAP. The testimony included copies of its 2004, 2005, and 2006 water quality reports to the California Department of Health Services (DHS).94 Those reports indicated that SGV complied with all DHS water quality standards and regulations since its prior GRC, D.04-07-044. DRA affirmed those results and testified that there were no formal complaints against SGV during that time period. We conclude that SGV is in compliance with all applicable state and federal safe drinking water quality standards and regulations.
