Four Season Water Water Quality Report
April,2025
Four Season Water, proudly serving the Huntington Beach community, sources its water from the Municipal Water Supply managed by the City of Huntington Beach, in collaboration with the Orange County Water District (OCWD). Our high-quality water is drawn from a well-balanced blend of local groundwater and imported water supplied by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). This includes water from both the Colorado River Aqueduct and the California State Water Project, ensuring a clean, consistent, and reliable supply you can trust every day.
Statement of Quality
The water dispensed at Four Season Water meets strict quality standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). These regulations establish maximum allowable levels for various potential contaminants, including microbiological agents, pesticides, organic and inorganic chemicals, and radiological elements. Our water quality aligns with the public drinking water standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the CDPH, ensuring a safe and consistent supply for our customers every day.
Water Quality and Safety Standards – Four Season Water
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)
The Maximum Contaminant Level is the highest allowable concentration of a substance in drinking water, whether tap or dispensed, as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
Primary Drinking Water Standards
These legally enforceable standards regulate contaminants in drinking water that may pose health risks. They include MCLs, treatment techniques, and monitoring and reporting requirements set by the EPA and CDPH.
Public Health Goal (PHG)
PHGs are non-enforceable public health benchmarks established by the California Environmental Protection Agency. They represent contaminant levels in drinking water that pose no known or anticipated health risk.

Statements Required Under California Law
In accordance with California law, we provide the following consumer notices regarding drinking water safety:
“Drinking water, including water dispensed from refill stations, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food and Cosmetic Hotline at 1-888-SAFEFOOD (1-888-723-3366).”
“To ensure that drinking water is safe, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) prescribe regulations that limit the number of certain contaminants in water provided to the public.”
“Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. These include individuals with compromised immune systems such as people undergoing chemotherapy, those who have received organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune disorders, some elderly individuals, and infants. These individuals should consult their healthcare providers about safe drinking water. Guidelines from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on reducing the risk of infection from microbial contaminants such as cryptosporidium are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800 426-4791.”
“The sources of drinking water include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over land or through the ground, it can absorb naturally occurring substances and those introduced by human activity. These may include:
- Inorganic substances such as salts and metals, which can occur naturally or result from farming, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, or oil and gas production.
- Pesticides and herbicides from agriculture, storm water runoff, and residential use.
- Organic substances, including byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, as well as runoff from urban areas and septic systems.
- Microbial contaminants from wildlife, agriculture, and sewage treatment operations.
- Radioactive substances, either naturally occurring or resulting from oil, gas, and mining activities.”
