The City of Antioch Water provides water for about 113,061 residents living in the Antioch area. Established in 1849, the Antioch City Water Department collects water from surface water sources by purchase of untreated water from Contra Costa Water District (CCWD), which is surface water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, treats it in a City-owned treatment plant and delivers it to customers through the City’s distribution pipes. The City is also able to pump directly from the San Joaquin River or purchase treated water from CCWD.
Under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the EPA requires Antioch City Water Department to assess local water quality each year and distribute a Consumer Confidence Water Quality Report. At WaterZen, we review these reports and make the information available, in a concise, straightforward, and easy-to-understand way.
