City of Columbus Drinking Water Report Released
The recently completed annual City of Columbus Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Report is now available on the Department of Public Utilities’ website.
The report shows that water delivered to 1.4 million consumers in central Ohio meets or exceeds national Safe Drinking Water Act requirements and all other state and federal standards. Based on testing data from 2022, it includes details about the city's water quality from its three water plants: Dublin Road on the Scioto River, Hap Cremean on Big Walnut Creek, and Parsons Avenue which uses well fields. To ensure regulatory compliance and customer safety, the Division of Water's Water Quality Assurance Laboratory staff complete thousands of tests each year related to different organic, inorganic and microbiological water quality parameters. The EPA requires that all water utilities publish reports on source and treated water quality to their customers.
The City of Columbus is fortunate to have adequate water supplies and an ethic of proactive planning. Throughout the decades, the engineers and planners of our water system made excellent decisions like three different water sources and an interconnected water distribution system,” Director Kristen Atha said. “The Department of Public Utilities continues that tradition with a focus on informed investment into our infrastructure, which has positioned the city well for continued growth in the area.”
