Round Rock Drinking Water Meets Federal Guidelines

ROUND ROCK, TX — The City of Round Rock’s water meets or exceeds all state and federal guidelines for safe drinking water, according to a recent report for the 2018 calendar year.

On the municipal website, officials explained the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires all drinking water suppliers to provide an annual water quality report called a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). This report provides customers with water quality information from the previous calendar year, official said.

Released on July 1, the report shows levels for all contaminants requiring testing by the federal agency. No violations were found, city officials said.

City officials advised residents that some companies promote testing or filtration services this time of year "...through sensationalized social media advertising and door-to-door solicitation," city officials warned. "According to the EPA, drinking water — including bottled water — may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk."
