Perchlorate
One of the primary goals of the Santa Clara Valley Water
District is to protect the community's groundwater supplies. In 2003,
an investigation performed under the direction of state water officials
detected a chemical called perchlorate in several water wells in South
County. Although the contamination is under the jurisdiction of the
Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), the water
district applied its significant resources to assess the extent of the
perchlorate contamination. In addition to offering free well testing
within the initial study area, the water district’s groundwater
experts continue to provide technical assistance to the investigation.

Concerned residents may call Olin Corporation directly
at Olin's Community Response hotline 1-800-295-6141
for information about their investigation and cleanup activities.
