From the moment a drop of water begins its journey to your home, Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) is working to ensure it is safe for you and your family.
That commitment to high-quality drinking water is highlighted in EMWD’s latest Consumer Confidence Report (CCR), which details the quality and sources of the tap water EMWD delivers each day. EMWD continued to meet all drinking water quality standards established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Drinking Water.
In 2024, EMWD conducted more than 48,000 water quality tests on 36 different water supply sources. More than 8,100 water samples were collected and tested for 382 contaminants. The tests are performed at a state-certified laboratory, including many at EMWD’s on-site laboratory.
Additionally, EMWD completed a consolidation of the City of Perris water system in October 2024. Since EMWD is now the water service provider for customers who were previously served by the City of Perris, water quality data collected by the City of Perris is included in EMWD’s CCR.
EMWD uses a variety of treatment processes that are best suited for the different water supply sources. Those processes include reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and multiple disinfection technologies.
“We want every customer to be confident in the quality of the drinking water we deliver to their homes,” EMWD Board President Stephen Corona said. “Our annual report provides clear and detailed information about the safety of our tap water. We encourage everyone to read the report and learn more about their water supplies.”
The CCR is published each year by July 1 and customers will receive a postcard notifying them that the report is available online. A hard copy may be requested by contacting EMWD at 951-928-3777, ext. 3430.
