Golden State Water Company (Golden State Water) is dedicated to ensuring the water from your taps meets all state and federal drinking water standards, providing you with the peace of mind that your health and safety are our top priorities.  

Golden State Water has completed the initial lead service line inventory required by the U.S. EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions. Through completing a historical records review and field investigations, Golden State Water has determined that its distribution system does not have lead or galvanized service lines that require replacement. This includes any customer-owned service lines.

FAQ

WHAT IS A WATER SERVICE LINE?

A water service line is a line that carries water from the main GSWC pipes in the streets to your home or building. 

WHAT IS THE LEAD AND COPPER RULE?

• In 1991, the EPA published a regulation to control lead and copper in drinking water known as the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR).
• The LCR has undergone many revisions since it was introduced, that can be found here.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A LEAD SERVICE LINE?

• If Golden State Water identifies lead pipes on your property, customers will be notified within 30 -days of their lead status; whether it exists or its status has not been determined.

IS MY WATER MEETING ALL STATE AND FEDERAL DRINKING WATER STANDARDS?

GSWC would like to assure customers that we monitor and test regularly to ensure the water we deliver meets all state and federal drinking water standards, including those for lead and copper as found in the Revised Lead and Copper Rule.

WHO OWNS THE WATER SERVICE LINE ON MY PROPERTY?

Golden State Water owns the service line from the main in the street to the meter box and the property owner owns the service line from the meter box to their home or building foundation.

HOW WILL THE REVISED LEAD AND COPPER RULE IMPACT GOLDEN STATE WATER CUSTOMERS?

The Revised Lead and Copper rule aims to enhance drinking water safety and quality for all Golden State Water customers. Golden State Water doesn’t have any lead service lines on its side, so retrofitting existing service lines that could affect water service is unlikely. Golden State Water employees may need to work near your water meter box to identify the material composition of customer-side service lines. Golden State Water will notify you if we plan to work around your meter box.
