Water Quality
The Washoe County Department of Water Resources (DWR) is a leader in providing integrated water resources. These services are critical to the region's quality of life. They include utility services (water, sewer and reclaimed water) and water resource planning services (flood management, remediation of contaminated groundwater and development of water resource plans).
DWR is committed to being the leader in the provision of integrated water resource services to our community. Our mission is to provide quality product and service to our community through teamwork, accountability and professionalism.
Regular testing of the water resources is one way we fulfill that mission. The 2010 Water Quality Report also known as the 'Consumer Confidence Report' by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), summarizes water quality data for the period January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009. The reports are mailed out annually the beginning of June. To find out about the specific water quality at your residence, click on the 2010 Service Area Reports to find your service area.
