A report on the quality of Fort Worth's drinking water has been mailed to Water Department customers. Individuals who do not receive a water bill may obtain a copy by calling 871-8210 or by picking one up at any Fort Worth Public Library location.
Reports are also available in Spanish by phone or at the libraries.
Water Department Director Lee Bradley Jr. The report lets consumers know the water is safe, what's in the water, how these substances may get into the water and where the water comes from, along with how information can be obtained on what is being done to protect the source water. The report also contains information on crytosporidium , a microbial parasite that can make people sick. Cryptosporidium has never been detected in either the city's untreated water or its treated water. Starting in 1999, all water utilities will have to issue annual water quality reports as a result of 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act. It was designed based on the proposed EPA rule issued in February.
