Something's In The Water Here In Mesa: How Do We Know?

Why is the city publishing last year's report in 2018?

Mesa water quality report now available

The new report reflects testing performed in 2017 and highlights water quality, sources, treatment, testing and monitoring for the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule.

"Mesa's water is safe, clean, reliable and meets all state and federal drinking water standards," Water Resources Department Director Jake West said. "The City invests millions of dollars in water infrastructure each year and has inspectors, analysts, technicians, engineers and water treatment specialists who work diligently so you can be confident about your drinking water."

Blogger Note: Oh yes, the city does spend millions and millions every budget year on both water treatment and  wastewater treatment as you can see in Budget Pie Chart above.
What last year's Water Quality Confidence Report doesn't say is that the city only measures what's required by current EPA regulations - there are a lot of other organic and inorganic compounds that are not collected or monitored or reported on.
