See Inside Redmond’s Drinking Water

City staff work daily to provide safe, reliable drinking water to all Redmond residents and businesses. Redmond’s water comes from a combination of the Tolt Reservoir and Redmond groundwater supply wells. The annual Water Quality Report provides the most recent year’s-worth of water quality data and is a great resource for residents to learn more about their water.
