By July 1st of every year, Global Water is required to send each customer an Consumer Confidence Report. These reports are also available here on our website. The information contained in this report includes results from samples obtained from the previous year. Even though numerous samples are taken, the report will only contain information on the samples that had detected concentration levels of a contaminant.
IS MY WATER SAFE TO DRINK?
The United States Environmental Protection Agency and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality has established standards for drinking water to ensure it is safe to drink. Global Water either meets or surpasses the drinking water standards at all of its public water systems. This is accomplished by an established testing program that meets and exceeds what is required under the Safe Water Drinking Act.
