REPORT.

High-Quality, Well-Protected Local Water Supply The water served by Montara Water and Sanitary District (MWSD) comes from high-quality local groundwater wells and Montara Creek. Our sources are consistently fed by clean, coastal rainfall, which flows into local streams and percolates into the aquifers from which we draw water.

We are fortunate to have such a high-quality, well-protected, and 100% locally-controlled water supply. Our staff of State Certified water professionals are committed to providing you and all our customers high quality water every day and around-the-clock.

This consumer confidence report (CCR) provides important information about your water quality, and illustrates that MWSD drinking water has met all the state and federal public health requirements for 2019.

MWSD is served by groundwater from San Mateo Coastal Basin Aquifers and surface water from the Montara Creek. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
