Annual Water Quality Report
Protecting Your Water. Protecting Your Health
Protecting the quality of our water is about protecting your health. That means doing everything necessary to safeguard our water from harmful contaminants, like bacteria, pathogens, heavy metals, pesticides and other chemicals. From source to delivery, we monitor for more than 400 constituents, performing over 200,000 tests a year and adjusting our treatment as necessary, to ensure our delivered water meets all state and federal requirements to protect human health. Learn more in our Annual Water Quality Report, available in English and Spanish.
