Where the water comes from
H & J Water Company draws water from 2 wells (1 of them for emergency, seasonal or other part-time use).
Annual water quality report
H & J Water Company must give its customers an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) by July 1, with the levels its tests found in the previous year.
Systems serving 500 or fewer people may meet the rule by telling customers the report is available on request, so you may need to ask H & J Water Company for a copy.
Find a posted report with EPA's Consumer Confidence Report search
Testing your own water
To test the water at your tap, or a private well this record does not cover, use a laboratory certified for drinking water by California.
