BACKGROUND: The Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience (SAFER) Program is a set of tools, funding sources, and regulatory authorities designed to ensure that one million Californians who currently lack safe drinking water receive safe & affordable drinking water as quickly as possible. The SAFER Program is responsible for identifying Public Water Systems and domestic wells that are “at-risk” of failure. Identifying “at-risk” systems and private wells will help the State Water Board proactively target technical and financial assistance to ensure communities have access to safe and affordable drinking water. The Identification of At-Risk Public Water Systems focuses primarily on developing and evaluating risk factors for community water systems up to 3,300 connections and non-transient non-community water systems due to the large number of historical violations associated with these systems. The Identification of Domestic Well and State Small Water Systems At-Risk will be accomplished through the mapping of aquifers that are used as a source of drinking water that are at high risk of containing contaminants that exceed safe drinking water standards. The identification is being completed by the Division of Water Quality, Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment Program (GAMA) Unit through the development of an aquifer risk mapping tool. The SAFER team is launching its effort to identify these “at-risk” public water systems and domestic wells and is seeking input from interested persons. This workshop will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to learn about existing identification techniques and provide recommendations and feedback on the State Water Board’s methodologies for determining “at-risk” public water systems, state small water systems, and domestic wells. DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: Related documents and information are available on the State Water Board’s website. A workshop agenda will be posted to this event page and circulated to registrants.
