Santa Ana 2020 Urban Water Management Plan <br />arcadis.com <br />6-15 <br />Beginning in the summer of 2019, the California State Division of Drinking Water (DDW) began requiring <br />testing for PFAS compounds in some groundwater production wells in the OCWD area. <br />Groundwater production in FY 2019-20 was expected to be approximately 325,000 AF but declined to <br />286,550 AF primarily due to PFAS impacted wells being turned off around February 2020. <br />OCWD expects groundwater production to be in the area of 245,000 AF in FY 2020-21 due to the <br />currently idled wells and additional wells being impacted by PFAS and turned off. As PFAS treatment <br />systems are constructed, OCWD expects total annual groundwater production to slowly increase back to <br />normal levels (310,000 to 330,000 AF) (OCWD, 2020).
