Providing reliable, high-quality, and affordable water is at the heart of our mission in the Public Utilities Department. In order to produce approximately 15.5 million gallons per day for about 69,649 billable accounts, hundreds of thousands of analyses throughout the treatment process are performed annually for treatment of drinking water. Water quality sampling in approximately 400 homes and businesses across the City helps demonstrate our ongoing performance and commitment to excellence.
The federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) sets the standards for drinking water and an annual water quality report is one of the provisions of those standards. Review the City of Chesapeake's 2024 Water Quality Report to learn how we consistently meet or exceed SDWA standards.
