How safe is City drinking water?
City water is very safe due to the pristine and protected nature of the City’s water supply. The City of Grand Junction is proud to be the first user of this high quality water, meaning there are no industrial, agricultural or municipal sources or discharges above the City water intake in the Kannah Creek watershed. To ensure that tap water is safe to drink, USEPA prescribes limits on the amount of certain substances in drinking water. City water meets or exceeds (is better than) drinking water limits set by the USEPA and has had no recent violations of USEPA drinking water standards since 1994. More information about the safety of drinking water can be obtained by calling the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791 or by visiting the USEPA’s web site at www.epa.
