Water Security Information
Local water systems may be targets for terrorist and other would-be criminals wishing to disrupt and cause harm to your community water supplies or wastewater facilities. Because utilities are often located in isolated areas, drinking water sources and wastewater collection systems may cover large areas that are difficult to secure and patrol.
Residents can help by noticing and reporting any suspicious activity in and around local water utilities. If you witness suspicious activities, report them to your local law enforcement authorities.
Tulare County’s Environmental Health division assures the preservation of quality in the public drinking water supply with the Water Quality Program. This program seeks to assure that public and private water supplies are suitable for domestic uses by routinely inspecting small public water systems to assure proper operation and maintenance.
