Annual Report Reaffirms the High Quality of City Water

Water Quality Report - 2023 Annual Summary Available Online

May 23, 2024

The City of Tallahassee has released its annual Water Quality Report - 2023. It again confirms the exceptional water quality provided by the City to its water customers. Drinking water standards for quality and safety in Florida are established at extremely stringent levels by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Florida Department of Health.

The 2023 Water Quality Report (a federally mandated publication that's also known as the Consumer Confidence Report) provides the monitoring data and explains the source and treatment process for the City's drinking water. The 2023 report is based on the results of monitoring for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2023, unless noted otherwise. The report is now available online at Talgov.com/WaterQuality.

For more than 120 years, the City has been providing safe, clean drinking water to the community. The best way residents can help ensure that high-quality drinking water delivered to their property makes it from the City's distribution system to their faucet is to maintain their home or business's plumbing system. One way to do this is to flush the plumbing system if it's been stagnant for an extended period. This can be done by running cold water from all the faucets and hose bibs for several minutes to allow fresh water into the building's plumbing. Customers should also consider replacing older pipes.

Always remember to use water wisely. While the Floridan aquifer offers an ample supply, it's not infinite. Conserving water now safeguards this resource for future generations.
