Mesa, AZ - How well do you know your H2O? Learn about the quality of your Mesa drinking water by reading the new City of Mesa Water Quality Consumer Confidence report at www.mesaaz.gov/ccr.
The new report reflects testing performed in 2015 and highlights water quality, sources, treatment, testing and monitoring for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule. Mesa's water meets over 100 state and federal drinking water standards.
"We are especially pleased to report our results for lead testing," Water Quality Supervisor Ken Marshall said. "The City of Mesa does not have any lead pipes in the distribution system and the EPA's action levels for lead were not exceeded in any of the samples collected as part of the Lead and Copper Rule study."
New in this year's report are updates on Mesa's pipe inspection and replacement program as well as information about new infrastructure including the $125 million Signal Butte Water Treatment Plant slated for completion in May of 2018.
"Residents should know the value of the water they use every day," Water Resources Department Director Dan Cleavenger said. "The City invests millions of dollars in water infrastructure each year and has inspectors, analysts, technicians, engineers and water treatment specialists who work diligently to keep our system performing at optimum levels."
The new 2015 Consumer Confidence Report is available electronically in both English and Spanish at www.mesaaz.gov/residents/water-resources/services/water-quality. For hard copies, please contact (480) 644-6461 or water.quality@mesaaz.gov.
