Drinking Water

Annual Water Quality Report (also known as Consumer Confidence Report)

The City is firmly committed to providing water that meets all regulatory requirements for quality and our citizens' expectations. The US Environmental Protection Agency requires that public drinking water systems provide information to the community describing efforts to protect groundwater, any regulated substances found in the water and an explanation of potential contaminants. Annual water quality reports are sent out by the first part of June every year, for the previous year, and can also be accessed by clicking on the following link.
