Water Quality Report 2013
The City of Florence Water Quality Report for 2013 is now available. Copies are available below as a downloadable PDF. Paper copies will only be mailed by request or a copy can be picked up at the Public Works building at 989 Spruce Street or City Hall at 250 Highway 101.
“The City of Florence works hard to ensure that our water not only complies, but exceeds state and federal drinking water standards,” said Miller. “This report shows our efforts are working.”
As a water supplier, the City is required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide an annual Consumer Confidence Report. Commonly known as a Water Quality Report, it provides water quality data from January 1st to December 31st, 2013. The report also informs customers of the location of the City’s water sources, the City’s source water protection programs, if there are any contaminants in the drinking water as well as the water analyses undertaken to ensure that the water delivered is safe and of the highest quality.
The 2012 edition of the report was recognized by the Pacific Northwest Section of the American Water Works Association (PNWS-AWWA) with an Excellence in Communications award. Every year, the PNWS recognizes water utilities who go above and beyond in communicating their water’s quality to consumers.
Founded in 1927, the PNWS-AWWA provides leadership to drinking water professionals in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in the areas of, water quality and distribution, water resource policy, conservation and engineering.
In addition to the legally required language, the 2013 version includes information regarding the City’s efforts to protect the aquifer, fun and informative water facts, a chart displaying daily water production as well as the City’s well rehabilitation efforts. The 2013 edition also includes a new graphic on our local dunal aquifer system. Created by local artist Katie Miller, the graphic clearly shows how water travels from the aquifer to the home.
“Florence’s dunal aquifer system is the only one of its kind in the State of Oregon,” said Miller. “Protecting it and providing our residents with high quality drinking water is our top priority.”
