Consumer Confidence Report
Town of Fort Jones
Here at Town of Fort Jones we want you to understand the efforts we make to provide you with a safe
and dependable drinking water supply. We continually monitor our drinking water quality and strive
to protect our water resources, We regularly test our drinking water for many different
constituents as required by State and Federal Regulations. This “Water Quality Report” includes
those constituents that were detected in 2025 and may include earlier monitoring data.
Our drinking water is supplied by one treated well (Well 03).
In 2025, we had the two water storage tanks cleaned, inspected, and minor repairs performed.
All wells were evaluated by the state in December 2002, to determine if there were possible
contaminating activities that might compromise the quality of the water. The sources are considered
most vulnerable to the following: lagoons/liquid wastes, pesticide, fertilizer application and
storage, agricultural drainage, animal feeding and grazing operations, and high density and low
density septic and sewer collection systems. At the time, there were no associated contaminants
detected in the water supply, however the source was still considered vulnerable to automobile/gas
stations, farm machine repair,
fleet trucks and bus terminals and machine shops and wastewater treatment plants. A copy of the
complete report is available at 364 Knollcrest Drive, Suite 101, Redding, CA 96002.
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams,
ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. 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.
Contaminants that may be present In
source water include:
Microbial contaminants (such as viruses and bacteria) that may come from sewage treatment plants,
septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife;
Inorganic contaminants (such as salts and
metals)that can be naturally-occurringor result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or
domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming;
Pesticides and herbicides that may come
from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses;
Organic chemical contamlnan1S, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals that are
byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations,
urban storm water runoff,
agricultural application, and septic systems
Radioactive contaminants, that can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas
production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the USEPA and the State Water Resources
Control Board prescribe regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water
provided by public
water systems. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations and California law also establish
limits for contaminants in bottled water that provide the same protection for public health.
Please note that drinking water, including bottled water, 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 U.S. EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline
(1-800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
lmmuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have
undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly,
and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about
drinking water from their health care providers. US EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other
microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).
