News ImageEl Toro Groundwater Cleanup
12/31/2009  The Irvine Ranch Water District provides drinking water to the City of Irvine and monitors the quality of water from its drinking sources. Through regular testing of 18 drinking water wells located in Santa Ana, the IRWD has never detected TCE in drinking water served to any of its customers. The IRWD does not have any drinking water wells that are located in the TCE plume emanating from the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station. Also, the EPA in March 2009 noted that no "potential vapor intrusion problems" exist in Irvine neighborhoods because there is no TCE present to create those vapors.
