Additionally, on April 7th, the Board of Supervisors
acted on one of three options for administering the Safe Drinking
Water Act in San Diego County on behalf of the State through a
delegation agreement to act as the Local Primacy Agency (LPA)
operating the Small Drinking Water Systems Program. The Board
unanimously voted to return the program to the State. Over the next
year, DEHQ will work with the California State Water Resources Control
Board's Division of Drinking Water to transition the LPA water systems
in this program over to them. The 17 State Small water systems will
remain the responsibility of DEHQ.
