From source to tap, the District works tirelessly to deliver safe water by performing year-round sampling, rigorous testing, ongoing system maintenance, and prioritizing infrastructure investments. By adhering to strict regulations, the District prevents waterborne illnesses to ensure that clean, safe drinking water reaches every home and business.
While water treatment happens behind the scenes, its impact is front and center. State-certified District staff work to safeguard the safety of water provided to residents, guaranteeing that over 108,000 people have access to high-quality water.
