Full-spectrum regulatory compliance consulting for small and medium community water systems — from cross-connection control to emergency response planning.
A cross-connection control (CCC) program protects your potable water supply from contamination through backflow. California’s Title 17 requires all community water systems to implement and maintain a CCC program — and many systems fall short of compliance.
Aqua Solutions Consulting develops complete CCC programs from the ground up or updates existing programs to meet current SWRCB and county health requirements. Whether your system serves 50 connections or 5,000, we build programs that are practical, audit-ready, and operator-friendly.
California’s SB 1188 requires the State Water Resources Control Board to assess the technical, managerial, and financial (TMF) capacity of water systems — particularly small systems that may lack resources for full compliance.
We prepare comprehensive TMF capacity assessments and improvement plans that document your system’s strengths and address any gaps identified by regulators. Our deliverables are structured for direct submission to the Division of Drinking Water.
Every community water system is required to prepare and distribute an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) to its customers. The CCR summarizes your water quality data, detected contaminants, and compliance status in a format accessible to the public.
We prepare your CCR from raw water quality data and lab results, ensuring accuracy, regulatory compliance, and clear communication to your community. Reports are formatted for print and digital distribution.
California’s Division of Drinking Water requires annual electronic reporting through the SDWIS platform. The eAR captures system-level data including source information, treatment, distribution, monitoring schedules, and compliance actions.
We compile, review, and prepare your eAR data for accurate and timely submission — reducing the administrative burden on your operators and ensuring no reporting deadlines are missed.
Well-documented SOPs are the backbone of consistent, safe water system operations. Whether required by regulators or needed for institutional knowledge, SOPs ensure every operator can perform critical tasks correctly — regardless of staff turnover.
We develop comprehensive SOP libraries tailored to your system’s specific infrastructure, treatment processes, and distribution network. Each SOP is written in clear, operator-friendly language with step-by-step procedures, safety protocols, and regulatory references.
America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) requires certain water systems to develop and maintain emergency response plans (ERPs). Even for systems below the AWIA threshold, a well-structured ERP is essential for protecting public health during emergencies.
We develop ERPs that address natural disasters, contamination events, infrastructure failures, and extended power outages — customized to your system’s risk profile, geography, and available resources.
Understanding the condition, remaining life, and replacement cost of your infrastructure is critical for long-term sustainability. Asset management planning helps water systems prioritize capital improvements, set appropriate rates, and demonstrate fiscal responsibility to regulators and boards.
We develop asset management plans with companion Excel workbooks that track asset inventories, condition assessments, and replacement schedules — giving your system a clear roadmap for infrastructure investment.
California’s SB 552 requires small water systems to prepare water shortage contingency plans that address drought conditions and supply reliability. These plans ensure your system can respond effectively to water shortages while meeting regulatory requirements.
We prepare drought response plans and water shortage contingency documentation tailored to your system’s sources, storage capacity, and customer base.
Preparing for California or Nevada water operator exams can be challenging — especially for operators balancing full-time work. We offer exam preparation support and training materials developed by a D5-credentialed operator with direct exam experience.
Training covers water distribution operations, treatment fundamentals, backflow prevention, MUTCD traffic control, and regulatory compliance — delivered in practical, operator-focused formats.
