California American Water Distributes Annual Consumer Confidence Report to its Southern California Customers

LOS ANGELES, July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- During the month of June, California American Water customers in Southern California received a Consumer Confidence Report.  Most reports were direct mailed to customers' homes; however, some arrived as an insert in customers' water bills.  The reports, which are required for the majority of water systems in the United States by the Environmental Protection Agency, aim to educate customers about where their water comes from and what's in it.

"Our customers are our top priority.  The water we delivered in 2009 met or surpassed all state and federal standards," said California American Water Southern California General Manager Todd Brown. "We're also committed to providing the infrastructure replacements and improvements needed to deliver trusted water service and comply with new regulations now and for years to come."

Consumer Confidence Reports provide detailed information about each community's drinking water source, the treatment it requires and the results of testing and measurements for more than 100 compounds and constituents.  The reports contain data for water provided in the previous calendar year.

The reports are also available at: www.californiaamwater.com.  Renters who do not receive a copy of the Consumer Confidence Reports are encouraged to access the reports online. Customers with questions concerning their Consumer Confidence Report are encouraged to contact California American Water at: 1-888-237-1333 or the Environmental Protection Agency Safe Drinking Water Hotline at: 1-800-426-4791.
