The Division of Drinking Water, formerly, California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is responsible for regulating all public drinking water systems in California. Lukins Brothers Water Company complies with all requirements set forth by the CDPH and Title 22 water quality monitoring.

Lead and Copper Information:

Lukins Brothers Water Company tests for lead and copper in accordance with Title 22 of California Water Code, and reports directly to the California Department of Water Resource, Division of Drinking Water.

The water delivered by LBWC to your service meets all federal and state water quality standards, but your home plumbing can affect water quality. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to two minutes before using water for drinking or cooking.

LBWC prepares annul Consumer Confidence Reports to provide customers with an accurate profile of drinking water. For additional information regarding lead and copper testing procedures, please contact our office at (530) 541-2606.

If you are concerned about lead in your water, you can have your water tested by a private lab. More information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791 or www.epa.gov/safewater/lead
