The Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) has published its 2018 Water Quality Report, which shows that the water that we provide to residential and commercial customers continues to meet or exceed regulatory standards.

This annual report informs residents where the City’s drinking water comes from, how the water is treated, what it contains, and how it meets federal standards for tap water.

“This year’s release of the Water Quality Report comes as the nation celebrates National Public Health Week, underscoring the importance of safe, high-quality water in promoting the nation’s health,” said DPW Director Rudolph S. Chow, P.E.

The report has been expanded to eight pages, up from four, in order to include larger, better pictures and make it easier to read.

The release of the 2018 Water Quality Report, also known as the Consumer Confidence Report, marks the second year that DPW has used electronic delivery to distribute the report. Previously, the report was mailed to each customer along with a springtime water bill.

Baltimore City and County customers are being notified of the implementation of electronic delivery of the Annual Water Quality report via a message on their water bill. They will see the web address that will take them directly to the report: publicworks.baltimorecity.gov/waterreport. Water customers who want printed copies of the report can call 311 or (410) 396-5352.

Previous years’ reports are also available online at publicworks.baltimorecity.gov/water-quality-reports.
