Greensboro Continues to Provide Clean, Safe Drinking Water

GREENSBORO – The City of Greensboro's annual water quality report, the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR), will be delivered to Greensboro residents within the week.  The Environmental Protection Agency, under the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act amendments, mandates that all municipal water systems provide a CCR to their customers for calendar year 2006 by July 1, 2007.  The CCR provides information about where water comes from, possible substances in the water, and compliance with state and federal limits. It also gives specific public health information, enabling consumers to make informed decisions regarding any potential health risks related to the use of their public drinking water.  The City had clean, safe drinking water for 2006 and continues to provide superior quality water to residents.

"Greensboro's water is regularly tested and monitored by our highly skilled water treatment professionals,” says Allan Williams, Water Resources Director.  “Our employees work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We have continually exceeded all federal and state drinking water standards," he adds.  "We have always been committed to providing our customers with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water,” says Steve Drew, Water Supply Manager.  “We're pleased to report that our testing shows the excellent quality of our water, and we are very proud to announce that our water system had no violations.”
