Water is one of our most vital resources.
We sometimes take having clean, plentiful and safe water for granted. Consider the problems we would have if water were not available. Yet, water remains a real bargain. For example, the cost of one gallon of water is approximately one penny, compared to a 12 ounce soda that costs a dollar. We hope this report gives you a better understanding of our water system and the quality of water we deliver.
