Where the water comes from
The Lakes Association draws water from 2 wells.
Annual water quality report
The Lakes Association 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 The Lakes Association for a copy.

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.
