Water--Consumer Confidence Report
The City provides for treatment and disinfection of its water supplies. Sources of water supplies are treated utilizing hypochlorite in order to insure proper disinfections pursuant to State Health Department Standards. Additionally, the City adds fluoride to its water supplies at the sources as an additional health benefit. Water supplies are sampled and tested on a routine basis pursuant to the requirements of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act to insure the protection of the public health and safety of the community. Water sampling and testing includes coliform, lead and copper, volatile and synthetic organic chemicals (VOC's and SOC's), chlorine residuals and radionuclides. The Public Works department maintains the systems and meets standards put forth by the Washington State Department of Health. The water meets or exceeds all State and Federal drinking water standards. All this is addressed in the Consumer Confidence Report. (The 2004 CCR will be available shortly)
