We use a multi-barrier approach to treating water, which makes water progressively cleaner: Color and contaminants are removed through a process called coagulation.
Our state-certified lab collects more than 6,000 samples from more than 500 monitoring sites annually, and conducts more than 60,000 water quality tests each year to ensure our system’s water meets or is better than required by state, local and federal requirements.
Most importantly, if our water doesn’t meet our high water quality standards, it doesn’t leave our water treatment plants. Those of us involved in managing, cleaning and delivering water share an obligation to protect public health.
