PACIFIC GROVE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--California American Water published the 2017 Consumer Confidence Reports, which demonstrate high quality water service throughout the Monterey District.

The report also discusses drinking water sources, public health information, substances detected in the water and the levels of those substances. Commonly asked questions and answers concerning drinking water are also included.

The reports continue a new design implemented last year that feature illustrated sections of common containments and simple-to-read explanations of the various technical terms within the document.
