Santa Rosa Annual Water Quality Report Outlines Commitment to Provide Safe, High-Quality Drinking Water
Santa Rosa Water has a dedicated team of utility systems operators, planners, environmental engineers, water quality specialists, technicians, and many other professionals that manage and protect the intricate systems that bring water to and from your home. One of the most critical factors in water quality is the source. Santa Rosa's primary water source is from the Russian River, where water is pumped from collector wells about 100 feet below the riverbed through a riverbank filtration system. This system produces high-quality drinking water that meets, or exceeds, state and federal standards. Before water reaches your tap, it has been tested more than 200 times and meets or exceeds all federal and state drinking water standards. VIEW REPORT
