The Environmental Protection Agency requires the City of Fort Lauderdale, and all community water systems, to provide its customers with a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR), also known as the Water Quality Report, by July 1 each year as part of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The City’s 2023 Water Quality Report contains important information about the City’s water source, water supply, the water treatment process, and the contents of the drinking water Fort Lauderdale provides to citizens every day.
Information in the annual report is generated from approximately 100,000 tests performed on the City’s drinking water per year in state-certified laboratories. These tests include daily bacterial and chemical tests on finished water, weekly bacteriological tests of water in the distribution system, monthly and quarterly testing of water supply wells, and annual tests of all regulated drinking water contaminants and their health effects.
The test results in the 2023 Water Quality Report are based on the results of the City’s monitoring between January 1 and December 31, 2023. Data obtained before January 1, 2023, and presented in the report are from the most recent testing done in accordance with laws, rules and regulations.
The City of Fort Lauderdale continues to provide drinking water that meets or exceeds local, state, and federal requirements.
For questions about this report, please contact our Customer Service Center at 954-828-8000 or via FixIt FTL.
