Your Drinking Water Water Quality Report We know that quality of your drinking water is important to you. Water Authority employees take drinking water quality and standards very seriously. Every year, thousands of water samples are collected to test the quality of water delivered to your home. Our water meets all federal and state standards for drinking water quality, and has also been recognized for its good taste. It is important to note that the Water Authority provides water that meets all state and federal legal standards for safe drinking water. No municipal drinking water supply is 100% free of all contaminants, and some advocacy groups maintain that certain federal standards are insufficient. Quality standards and goals undergo ongoing review at the federal level and may be adjusted as scientific understanding and treatment technologies evolve. If you are concerned about the effectiveness of federal regulations with respect to drinking water, you are encouraged to contact your congressional representatives.
