Water quality data

Every day of the year EBMUD samples and tests your water extensively in laboratories and in the field to make sure it is safe to drink.

More than 20,000 annual laboratory tests ensure the safety of your drinking water and that all customers receive high-quality drinking water that meets or surpasses all state and federal regulatory requirements and standards. 

Every drop of water that comes out of your tap is first treated at one of our treatment plants. Scroll down to the map below, find your city and the corresponding treatment plant. Then find the column in the table for the most recent water qualtiy data from that treatment plant.  OS means "Out of Service".
