Dear residents of Fillmore,

We have recently become aware of a concerning issue regarding residents receiving false visits from individuals claiming to be from the City of Fillmore. These individuals have been falsely asserting that the water is contaminated and urging residents to purchase water filters from them. Here are the facts: **Unauthorized Visits:** The City of Fillmore has not authorized any individuals to conduct water tests inside residents’ homes. If anyone approaches you claiming to be from the City and asks to test your water, please do not allow them access and report the incident to us immediately by calling: (805) 524-2233. **False Claims:** Contrary to what these individuals are saying, our water is not contaminated, and there is no need to purchase bottled water or filters. It is safe to drink, cook with, wash clothes, and shower in. **Transparency:** We maintain transparency regarding our water quality, and the latest water quality report is available on the City’s website for your reference. Link to reports: https://www.fillmoreca.gov/Archive.aspx?AMID=40 Your safety and well-being are our top priorities, and we are actively working with law enforcement to address this issue. If you encounter anyone making false claims about our water quality or falsely representing themselves as City officials, please contact us by calling: (805) 524-2233. Thank you for your cooperation and vigilance in safeguarding our community’s integrity.
