​           Mount Owen Rifle Range

Picture
​The site is located in Fresno County, approximately six miles northeast of Clovis, California.

Between 1942 and 1944, the U.S. Army acquired use of 1,654.43 acres for use as a rifle range. Site improvements included: a deep water well and interconnecting water pipeline embedded under a county roadway; a rifle range including five earth berms and a concrete retaining wall; and former barracks including a mess hall, showers, latrines, a sewage system, and two concrete 1,000-gallon underground storage tanks.

The site was declared surplus by the War Department in 1946 and all leaseholds and licenses terminated in 1947. Records indicate that the barracks were closed and partially dismantled after termination of the lease.

The rifle range consists of five linear, parallel earthen berms approximately 300 feet apart. Each berm is about 600 feet long, 7 feet high, and 7 feet wide.

EWG's drinking water quality report shows results of tests conducted by the water utility and provided to the Environmental Working Group by the California State Water Resources Control Board, as well as information from the U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History database (ECHO). For the latest quarter assessed by the U.S. EPA (January 2019 - March 2019), tap water provided by this water utility was in compliance with federal health-based drinking water standards.

Legal does not necessarily equal safe. Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines.
Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have not been updated in almost 20 years.
The best way to ensure clean tap water is to keep pollution out of source water in the first place.
