2017 Annual Water Quality Report Now Online

Published on June 11, 2018

Arlington's newest water quality report is now online. The County is required by law to prepare and publish the Consumer Confidence Report annually.

Based on sampling data taken throughout the year at our treatment plant and distribution system, the report confirms that Arlington's high-quality drinking water meets and exceeds all federal and state requirements. It is also filled with facts about the sources of your water and what makes it safe.

To view the full study and those dating back each year to 2007, visit water.arlingtonva.us/ water/water-quality-reports. To request a printed copy of the 2017 report, call 703-228-6570. We no longer publish the report in "The Citizen" County newsletter.

Arlington households use far less water than the national average

Our average annual use per household is about 57,000 gallons. The EPA's statistics put the national average at about 100,000 gallons per household per year.

Arlington households use less water because our household size is smaller, our lots are denser and our large stock of townhomes and multi-family buildings and frequent redevelopment mean we deploy more water conservation devices.
