LEARN ABOUT AUSTIN’S Water Quality

Continuous Quality Controls and Increased Frequency of Testing for the Highest Quality Water Innovations and quality controls have been added to strengthen our water treatment processes and ensure you receive the best – every time you turn on the tap. For example, Austin Water increased the frequency of water testing above what is required by regulatory agencies to ensure water quality. In addition to daily and hourly testing at each water treatment plant, a minimum of 300 tests are taken throughout the distribution system every month to check for bacteriological contaminants, chlorination levels, and other important parameters. An expanded snapshot of our rigorous quality controls and upgrades is posted on our website as well as an annual Drinking Water Quality Report that provides information about the City of Austin’s drinking water.
