"Our engineer suggested we contact Rose Water System Management to handle collecting our weekly samples, as well as work with the engineer on chlorinating our spring. Rose Water System was diligent in sampling every week during the summer season that our system was in operation. They also provided timely monthly reporting to us, our engineer, as well as the County Health Department."

"We brought Rose Water System Management in when we had a bad coliform sample. Paul worked with our representative from the California Department of Public Health to get the system re-chlorinated, take follow-up samples, and meet the Total Coliform Rule. We then contracted with Rose Water System Management to be the licensed operator for our water system. We haven't regretted it. They are very good at communicating what we need to do to maintain compliance, from developing and maintaining our backflow program, to coordinating a district-wide flushing of our system. They also brought us current with all of our Title 22 testing, and follow through to keep us current. They definitely have proven they have the experience to operate our system."
