As part of our continued efforts to work towards a lead-free future, we have been diligently working to identify any remaining lead or galvanized lines in our distribution system. These results are now publicly available in our Service Line Material Inventory.

We provide the safest and cleanest water to you and your family 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We perform over 70,000 analyses each year to verify that you receive the highest quality water whenever you need it at the highest value.

We maintain over 27,000 fire hydrants across the region we serve, so that when needed, we are ready to provide.

Infrastructure

To reliably provide billions of gallons of clean, safe drinking water, the Monroe County Water Authority maintains a massive infrastructure. We can store more than 130 million gallons of water, which can meet up to three days of usage.

Water Quality

The average adult human body is 50-65% water, so it’s no surprise that water quality can greatly impact our overall health. Year after year MCWA meets or exceeds all drinking water standards set by the EPA and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH). We stand committed to delivering quality, affordable drinking water to the communities we serve.
