City of Daly City Advises Residents to Be Aware of Fraudulent Water Testing Solicitations
 
DALY CITY, CA — The City of Daly City is advising residents to be aware of fraudulent phone calls or visits claiming that the City's drinking water is contaminated.
 
The City recently received a report from a resident who was contacted by an individual claiming to be a contractor offering to test the resident's water for contamination. The caller suggested they were aware of a contamination issue affecting the property.
 
The Department of Water & Wastewater Resources confirms there are no known issues affecting Daly City's drinking water. The City's drinking water continues to meet or exceed all state and federal drinking water quality standards and remains safe for drinking and everyday use.

Residents should be aware that:

• The City does not hire contractors to contact residents unsolicited to test drinking water for contamination.
• If there were a legitimate concern affecting the public water supply, the City would notify impacted customers through official communication channels, such as direct notifications, the City's website, social media, and other emergency notification methods, as appropriate.
• Residents should exercise caution before providing personal information, allowing unknown individuals onto their property, or purchasing services based on unsolicited claims.

 
If you receive a suspicious call or visit regarding your drinking water, the City recommends that you:

• Decline the unsolicited offer.
• Verify any claims by contacting the Department of Water & Wastewater Resources directly at (650) 991-8200.
• Report suspected fraud to your local law enforcement agency if appropriate.

 
The City of Daly City is committed to providing safe, reliable drinking water and encourages residents to rely on official City communications for accurate information regarding water quality and public health.

Each resident will be notified via email or phone call if you qualify for the label kit. Residents will be provided with a date, time and location of where the kit can be picked up. During the time of pick up, the resident will need to show proof of current residence (i.e., identification and/or utility bill). If you have any questions, please call 650-991-8119. To fill out the registration form, please visit: www.dalycity.org/1149/Catalytic-Converter-Etch-and-Protect-Pro.

Nextdoor.com
 
Nextdoor.com is a free private social networking website for your neighborhood. This private network ensures that only those who live in your neighborhood can join; users must go through a verification process. Neighbors ask each other for business recommendations; help in locating missing pets; discuss relevant local government issues; or connect for other reasons. It is very easy to sign up. I like the fact that the site verifies users by addresses, and it won’t allow people to access a neighborhood if they don’t live there. Please note: The City of Daly City and/or the Police Department cannot see what residents post—we are only allowed to post information. There is also a mobile application, or you can have it sent to your e-mail. Give it a try!  www.nextdoor.com
