Testing Our Water
The water we treat is tested continuously to ensure it meets safety standards. UTRWD’s water treatment plants test about 168 samples daily or 54,000 samples annually. We also send out around 60 samples per month to a contracted laboratory (that’s around 700 samples each year).
These water samples are tested for parameters including:
- Alkalinity
- Atrazine (Herbicide)
- Chloramines
- Fluoride
- Free & Total Chlorine
- Hardness
- Nitrate/Nitrite
- pH
- Total Organic Carbon
- Turbidity
The results from these water sample tests are summarized in our annual Water Quality Report (also known as a Consumer Confidence Report or CCR) below.
