News release
The California State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water and the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency invite the community to participate in a public comment period and upcoming virtual meeting regarding Well V201, located near Valencia Boulevard and Citrus Street in Santa Clarita.
The comment period and meeting provide opportunities to learn more about the amendment of a drinking water supply permit that would allow SCV Water to serve drinking water from Well V201, which has been offline since 2010 due to the presence of perchlorate and volatile organic compounds, using a new treatment system installed at the well site, according to a news release from SCV Water.
The permit amendment allows SCV Water to use state-of-the-art ion exchange and granular activated carbon treatment to remove perchlorate and VOCs from the groundwater pumped at Well V201 and restore approximately 2,000 gallons per minute of water to the agency’s supply, the release said. This is enough water to serve nearly 6,400 families in Santa Clarita each year.
Members of the public are invited to attend an upcoming online public meeting for additional information. The meeting is scheduled 4 p.m. Monday, Dec. 1, via Zoom. Residents can register for the meeting at tinyurl.com/4jm8jbmk.
SCV Water ratepayers are invited to review and comment on documents related to DDW’s issuance of a Drinking Water Supply Permit. Project documents are available on the SCV Water website at yourSCVwater.com/your-water/groundwater-restoration. A hard copy of related documents will be made available upon request.
Members of the public may submit a public comment regarding the Well V201 permit amendment or request a hard copy to review to Communications Manager Kevin Strauss via email at [email protected] until 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6.
All public comment will be addressed in writing following the 30-day comment period.
