Drinking Water - Open Environmental Data Project - March 23, 2023 Workshop

The following datasets related to regulated drinking water system facilities in California have been developed and are available for the purpose of the March 23, 2023, OEDP workshop. The main purpose of the workshop is to engage community members and researchers in understanding datasets maintained and shared by the California State Water Resources Control Board Drinking Water Program and explore possibilities for their use and enhancement. Input from this workshop could be used to inform recommendations OEDP makes to partnering organizations about how to collect, share, and structure their open datasets. Conversations could also support community organizations in using water datasets to inform programming, policy advocacy, or organizing.

Drinking Water - Public Water System Information

This is a curated dataset of information for all drinking water public water systems (PWS) in California, including the name, location and some general information for each PWS. The source of the data https://sdwis.waterboards.ca.gov/PDWW/ is a public web portal to view public water systems (PWS) location, facilities, sources, and samples.

Data Dictionary: Drinking Water Violations and Enforcement

Violations are issued for a public water system when there is a failure to meet certain state/region or federal drinking water regulations. This includes a failure to collect a sample (called a monitoring violation), failure to report the analytical results from a sample that was collected (a reporting requirement), deliver water that exceeds a maximum contaminant level (a Maximum Contaminant Level violation), as well as other failures. On the Violations page you may view basic water system information, such as Water System No., Water System Name, Principal County Served, Status, Federal and State Type, Source, and Activity Date. This data dictionary is available through drinking water watch glossary available at https://sdwis.waterboards.ca.gov/PDWW/Help/html_Public_Water_Supply_Sytems_Search_Paramaters.htm Violations: https://sdwis.waterboards.ca.gov/PDWW/Help/html_Violation.htm Violations and Group Violations: https://sdwis.waterboards.ca.gov/PDWW/Help/html_Violations.htm Enforcement actions are actions taken against a water system. These may include requirements that must be met in order to rectify a failure to perform under the Public Water System Supervision program. Enforcement actions are informal and formal. They are typically issued by the primacy agency but may be issued by its representative or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Examples include administrative and civil/criminal legal actions, warning notices, citations, temporary injunctions, restraining orders, and penalties. https://sdwis.waterboards.ca.gov/PDWW/Help/html_Violation_Detail.htm

California Drinking Water Needs Assessment Web Site

In 2019, to advance the goals of the Human Right to Water “HR2W”, California passed Senate Bill 200, which enabled the State Water Board to establish the Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience (SAFER) Program. Foremost among the tools created for SAFER is the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund. The Fund provides up to $130 million per year through 2030 to enable the State Water Board to develop and implement sustainable solutions for underperforming drinking water systems. The annual Fund Expenditure Plan prioritizes projects for funding, documents past and planned expenditures, and is “based on data and analysis drawn from the drinking water Needs Assessment.” For more information on SAFER, visit the Safe and Affordable Fund for Equity and Resilience (SAFER) website.
