Annual Report Reaffirms the High Quality of City Water

2019 Water Quality Report Now Available

June 21, 2019

The City of Tallahassee has released its 2019 Water Quality Report. Test results for the City’s water continue to show that regulated components of drinking water are either not detected or are present in amounts well below the drinking water standards established for quality and safety by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Florida Department of Health (DOH).

The 2019 Water Quality Report provides the monitoring data and explains the source and treatment process for the City’s drinking water. The 2019 report is based on the results of monitoring for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2018, unless noted otherwise.

The City is committed to providing safe, clean, drinking water to the community. Dedicated City staff members work around the clock to deliver high-quality water, drawn from the Floridan aquifer, to local homes and businesses. The report explains how the City protects this vital resource and ensures reliable service for customers.

The best way residents can help ensure that high-quality drinking water makes it from the distribution system to their faucet is to maintain their home or business’s plumbing system. First, flush the plumbing system if it’s been stagnant for an extended period. Second, replace older pipes. Always remember to use water wisely. While the Floridan aquifer offers an ample supply, it’s not infinite. Conserving water now safeguards this resource for future generations.

The 2019 Water Quality Report (a federally mandated publication that’s also known as the Consumer Confidence Report) is available on Talgov.com/WQR. Read the report to learn more about our local drinking water; all water customers will receive a copy via email or traditional mail.
