Press Release
Mesa releases 2011 water quality report
The City of Mesa has released its 2011 Water Quality Report and
results show the City's drinking water meets or exceeds every
health standard developed by both the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality.
Mesa's Water Quality Report is prepared by the City's Water
Resources Department to meet the EPA's National Primary Drinking
Water Regulation for Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR). It
details drinking water sources, the testing methodology, the
substances detected in the water and the levels of those
substances.
"As a desert community, a safe, reliable water supply is
critical for the health and welfare of our citizens, the
prosperity of our businesses and our quality of life," Water
Resources Department Director Kathryn Sorensen said. "We are
proud to deliver high quality drinking water to our customers."
Mesa has been serving water to the community for more than 100
years and is committed to providing its customers with water
that meets more than 100 state and federal drinking water
standards. The City draws its source water from the Salt and
Verde rivers through the Salt River Project (SRP), Colorado
River water from the Central Arizona Project (CAP) and from 30
wells that supply groundwater throughout the entire City.
Each year, the City produces and sends the publication to its
water customers by July 1 in response to provisions of the EPAs
Safe Drinking Water Act.
