Durham's Drinking Water Continues to Meet High Quality Standards

Annual Report Arriving to Durham Homes Soon

 

DURHAM, N.C. - Durham residents should be on the lookout for the City of
Durham's 2011 Water Quality Report, arriving in their mailboxes
beginning this week.  

 

The report, "Water: A to Z," details the City's water quality analytical
results from January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011, and shows that
Durham's drinking water was in full compliance with all state and
federal drinking water quality standards. The U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency requires water systems with more than 25 connections
to compile an annual report for distribution to customers.  

 

"We are very pleased to share with our customers the good news about the
on-going high quality of the drinking water we provide and other
information about the water treatment process and delivery system," said
Don Greeley, director of the City's Water Management Department. In
addition to information mandated by state and federal regulations, the
report also contains updates about upgrades and improvements to the
City's water treatment facilities. 

 

Approximately 125,000 copies of "Water: A to Z" have been mailed to
local postal customers in an effort to reach all Durham water customers,
including those living in multi-family housing that may not receive
water bills. Copies of the report will be made available throughout the
year to residents and visitors at public facilities, community centers,
and during community events. The report is also available online at 
http://www.DurhamSavesWater.org.   

 

For questions regarding the water quality and analytical information in
the report, call the Brown Water Treatment Plant at (919) 560-4362. For
information on water conservation or facility tours, call (919)
560-4381. For general information, contact Durham One Call at (919)
