Know What's in Your Water - Cloverdale Consumer Confidence Report Releases: Each year, in early Summer, the City of Cloverdale publishes an analysis of our drinking water quality for the preceding year referred to as the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). The 2018 report shows the results of our water quality monitoring for the period of January 1 - December 31, 2018. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U.S. EPA and the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board) prescribe regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Cloverdale's CCR identifies the contaminants regulated by the EPA and State Board and documents how well our water did this past year. Past reports are also available on the Public Works webpage under the section titled "Resources" found here. We test the drinking water quality for many constituents as required by state and federal regulations. This report shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2018 and may include earlier monitoring data.

Sonoma County Board of Supervisors Approves Updated Septic System Regulations

SANTA ROSA, CA – On June 11, 2019, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors took action to meet State mandated septic system regulations that protect water quality and public health. The Board authorized the submittal of a revised Sonoma County Local Agency Management Program to the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board.

“Our Local Agency Management Program balances new state regulation with local septic policy,” said Board Chair David Rabbitt. “In some areas we are providing more flexibility to homeowners. For example, the new policy no longer requires septic system review for certain building improvements to existing structures.”

Community education and engagement was a central component of the regulation update process. Staff hosted six community meetings, met with numerous community associations, welcomed comments in person and online, and provided materials to educate the public on the process and technical details. “The County remains committed to continuing to educate and work with the community to meet these State mandated septic regulations,” stated 5th District Supervisor Lynda Hopkins.

A central component of Sonoma County’s Local Agency Management Program is the County’s updated Onsite Waste Treatment Systems (OWTS) Manual. This manual provides the regulations, procedural and technical details governing individual onsite wastewater treatment systems (also referred to as septic systems). The four main changes to local septic requirements relate to:

 Repairs, replacement systems and new systems;  Qualified consultants and OWTS designers; and  Building permit thresholds for septic system review.

The approved changes to the OWTS Manual will take effect July 1, 2019. For more information regarding the County’s septic policy, including frequently asked questions, please visit www.sonomacounty.ca.gov/Permit/Septic-Policy-Update.

Working Together to Ensure Energy Reliability for Southern California

By CPUC Commissioner, Liane M. Randolph

One of the core functions at the CPUC is to do all we can to maintain the reliability of the state’s energy system, which is a challenging job even in the best of times.

In Southern California in particular, that challenge has been made more difficult because the region has experienced several significant disruptions to its energy infrastructure in recent years. Those disruptions include an unplanned closure by Southern California Edison (SCE) of its San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in 2012, the planned closure of several aging natural gas facilities, and the well leak at Southern California Gas Company’s Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility in 2015 that severely curtailed its use.

But a recent joint agency energy workshop I

Get to Know Us: Meet Liz Podolinsky

“The original romantic image of my writer’s retreat quickly dissipated when I was assigned to clean the men’s toilets,” she laughs, jokingly adding yet another skill set to her rich and varied resume.

Liz first came to the CPUC in 2008 to be a regulatory analyst for what was then known as the Office of Ratepayer Advocates, where she advocated for consumer protection and system efficiencies in water and telecommunications delivery. Three years later, she was tapped by former Commissioner Mike Florio to advise on telecommunications and transportation policy proposals and help guide the CPUC through the advent of ride-hailing and wireless technologies.

Today she advises President Picker on similar issues, leading, for example, a proceeding regarding utility pole safety and access.
