Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
The City's annual Drinking Water Quality Report is provided in the link below.
2022 data confirms that our rigorous water management and cutting-edge treatment techniques serve up top-quality tap water that meets or beats all quality standards set by the federal government.
We do our part to ensure that the water delivered to your home is safe to drink. We make this happen through protecting the watershed around the Bridge Creek Reservoir, through our continuous treatment and monitoring activities, and by maintaining over 50 miles of pipes to make sure the water gets to our customers safely and efficiently.
But safe drinking water is everybody's business!
This year's report contains information on how you can do your part!
One thing you can do is be a responsible flusher (only putting toilet paper down the toilet). Irresponsible flushing results in costly maintenance, repairs, sewage flooding and environmental pollution.
Another thing you can do to help is to prevent backflow, or preventing contaminants (chemicals, fertilizers, soapy water, bacteria, etc.) from getting drawn backward into the water system through garden hoses. If you connect your hose to a fertilizer sprayer, or put your hose in buckets to clean them out, dangerous contaminants from those containers can backflow into our drinking water system if there is a sudden drop in water supply pressure.
Learn all about it when you take the time to read the report! If you have any questions, the Water/Wastewater Utility Management staff at Public Works would be very pleased to discuss them with you.
The City of Homer received two awards this month from the Alaska Rural Water Association. The awards, presented at the Association's Annual Training Conference, recognize systems and operators that have done an outstanding job in the water and wastewater field.
