Atascadero Mutual Water Company

About

Atascadero Mutual Water Company (AMWC) was incorporated August 13, 1913, by Atascadero's founder E.G. Lewis, and is the oldest continuous-operating company in the Colony of Atascadero. Since its formation in 1913, AMWC has provided water for domestic and irrigation purposes at cost to its shareholders. AMWC is one of the largest retail mutual water companies in the state, and is responsible for meeting the water requirements of more than 30,000 people.

Water Quality: AMWC consistently produces water that meets or exceeds all state and federal drinking water standards.  Water quality samples are regularly taken at the wells and throughout the entire distribution system.  AMWC monitors these samples for all contaminants as required by the USEPA, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and Primary Drinking Water Standards, and follows all guidelines according to the national primary drinking water regulations.  AMWC is required to keep all water analysis results on file for three years.  A summary of water quality sampling results can be found in the Consumer Confidence Report prepared each year by AMWC. A copy of the report can be downloaded in PDF format (by clicking on the Water Quality Report image to the left) or obtained at the AMWC administrative office at 5005 El Camino Real.
