A new Fresno County Civil Grand Jury report found that the City of Fowler has been working to address its drinking water not meeting state standards. The grand jury report, which was released on Monday, detailed that while the city’s water does not currently meet state standards, the city has been working for the past seven years to rectify the situation. Microplastic 1,2,3-trichloropropane (TCP) was found in Fowler’s drinking water after it was detected above the legal limit in one of the city’s wells. … The grand jury found that Fowler has planned to install a new filtration system for several years but could not afford it without some extra funding. … The grand jury is recommending that Fowler should improve its training process for all Public Works, Water Department operators and should improve its website to make it easier to find all water information in order to improve transparency, among other recommendations.
