RWD’s annual water quality report (also know as a Consumer Confidence Report) is available here.

Rowland Water District’s water meets all State and Federal drinking water standards. About 1,000 tests are done on our water each year to make sure it meets or exceeds these standards, so we can continually deliver high quality water to customers. By law, RWD must inform you if contamination is detected in your drinking water.

If a public notice is published and distributed regarding your drinking water, be sure to carefully read and follow the instructions.
