What This Report Means for Your Family

Federal law requires every public water system to publish an annual Consumer Confidence Report and deliver it to customers by July 1. The report covers water quality data from the previous calendar year. But beyond the regulatory requirement, it's a straightforward accounting of the water coming out of your tap — where it started, what's in it, and whether it's safe.

What You'll Discover Inside

When you open your Consumer Confidence Report, you'll find information organized to help you understand your water supply:

Source Water Analysis
Learn about the origins of your water — whether it comes from underground aquifers, surface reservoirs, or mountain watersheds. This section explains how these natural environments influence the unique mineral profile of your water and what protective measures we implement to safeguard these precious resources.

Comprehensive Quality Testing Results
Review detailed laboratory findings that reveal what substances exist in your water, measured in parts per million or billion. You'll see how these measurements compare to the EPA's Maximum Contaminant Levels, with clear explanations of what these numbers mean for your health and safety.

Treatment Processes and Safeguards
Understand the multiple barriers and treatment technologies we employ to ensure your water remains safe. From filtration and disinfection to corrosion control, this section demystifies the science behind clean water.

Health Information
Most healthy adults are unlikely to experience health effects from contaminants found at or below regulatory limits. However, some people face greater risk, including infants, pregnant women, elderly residents, and those with compromised immune systems. The report identifies these groups and provides specific guidance on precautions they may want to take.

Water Use Efficiency
Water is a shared resource. Households, farms, businesses, and the rivers and streams that support fish and wildlife all compete for the same supply. The report includes an annual update on Skagit PUD's water use efficiency goals — what the targets are, how the system performed, and what the PUD is doing to manage water responsibly for the long term.
