City Provides Annual Report on Drinking Water Quality

The City of Spokane's 2024 drinking water quality report confirms adherence to all state and federal drinking water standards. The report highlights low-level detections of PFAS chemicals at three well sites, with levels remaining below state action thresholds. One well showed a test result slightly above the revised EPA standard, but the average remains compliant at four parts per trillion. Enhanced testing and monitoring procedures have been implemented to address PFAS contamination. Spokane has joined a lawsuit against PFAS manufacturers and supports the Spokane Aquifer Joint Board in investigating contamination sources.

The Water Department remains vigilant in monitoring regulations and testing to ensure public safety. The city also promotes water conservation efforts through its Water Wise Spokane program. Community members can access the water quality report online or request a mailed copy.
