Water Quality Data

Your water is regularly tested for more than 120 chemicals and other substances, as well as radioactivity. The table below provides detailed information about the water that comes from your tap after it is treated (treated water) and before it is treated (raw water). The substances shown are ones that our customers have the most questions about.

You can also view the latest Annual Water Quality Report, which lists the annual results for these substances as well as many others.
