To comply with Indiana Department of Environmental Management state regulations, City of Carmel Utilities issues a Water Quality Report (also called Consumer Confidence Report) annually describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources.
Carmel Utilities is pleased to report that your tap water met or exceeded all Environmental Protection Agency and state standards in 2022.
In previous years, City of Carmel Utilities has combined both the Carmel Water and the Carmel Clay Citizens Water reports. However, this year the reports are separated to distinguish these utilities, as a benefit to both water utility customers.
