Need to know when there are planned changes to water chemistry or city-wide water quality?

Some businesses, medical clinics, food and beverage production facilities, individuals and hobbyists need to know when we plan to make changes to our drinking water treatment or switch between water sources. Sign up for our water quality notifications to get an email when:

  • there are changes in the drinking water source (Bull Run water or groundwater);
  • significant adjustments are made to water treatment, such as pH or chlorine; or
  • there may be a known systemwide issue that impacts you.

We do not use this list to send information about localized, temporary events such as main breaks or discolored water. Experiencing discolored water? Report it to our Water Quality Line.

There are typically 6 to 12 water quality notices per year.
