Connecticut Water Files Latest Quality Reports

Connecticut Water’s latest water quality reports are available to customers and others who consume the water produced by the company’s more than 60 water systems across the state.

The report summarizes water quality testing done in 2017 and includes information about the utility’s water systems, water quality test results, and source protection measures.

“Connecticut Water employees are committed to delivering customers with clean, high-quality drinking water. We know water is one of life’s essentials and touches everything we care about,” said Craig J. Patla, Connecticut Water’s Vice President - Service Delivery. “We encourage our customers to read the report so they can see the extensive water quality testing and monitoring that is performed throughout the year so customers can have confidence in the quality of the water delivered in our systems.”

The Company’s Water Quality Report summarizes the results of 170,000 water quality tests conducted in 2017. More than 400 tests are performed each day for more than 120 potential contaminants and parameters that could affect the quality of tap water. Connecticut Water collects water samples before the water is treated, during the treatment process and in the distribution system before it reaches a customer’s home.

Water quality samples are tested at laboratories certified by DPH and test results are submitted to the state Department of Public Heath Drinking Water Division.
