The City of Arcadia Public Works Services Department collects water samples from the
City's wells, reservoirs and pipelines to ensure the effective delivery of high quality
potable water to the residents of Arcadia. The State of California Domestic Water
Quality and Monitoring regulations require that samples be collected and tested weekly,
monthly, quarterly and annually by a DOHS certified laboratory (Chapter 15, Title 22,
California Code of Regulations). This includes weekly bacteriological samples, Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOC) and Nitrates and monthly well and reservoir bacteriological
sampling.
The scope of services for this Professional Services Agreement includes furnishing all
labor, services, equipment, supplies and all other items and facilities necessary to
appropriately analyze domestic water samples as required by the State of California,
and special samples for discharge of water into the storm drainage system and special
samples as required by DOPH.
