City Provides Annual Report on Drinking Water Quality

The City of Spokane's annual report on drinking water quality, published on June 9, 2025, confirmed compliance with state and federal standards. However, it raised concerns by detecting PFAS, a group of synthetic chemicals, in drinking water, in light of new EPA guidelines. City officials assured the community of their ongoing commitment to safe drinking water and proactive measures to mitigate any health risks. This report is part of a broader initiative to monitor and improve water quality in Spokane. Residents are encouraged to review the report to better understand potential health impacts.

The presence of PFAS is particularly noteworthy, given its association with various health issues. The city continues to engage with the community on water safety matters, reinforcing transparency and public health. Such reports are crucial for fostering trust and ensuring informed public discourse regarding environmental health.
