2025 Water Quality Report Now Available
Annual report highlights Baltimore's continued commitment to providing safe, high-quality drinking water to 1.8 million people
The Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) today announced the release of its 2025 Water Quality Report, now available online. The annual report provides customers in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and surrounding service areas with important information about the region's drinking water, including its source and the results of extensive water quality testing.
The report also highlights the dedicated work of DPW employees who monitor, treat, and protect the region's drinking water every day. From the City's three reservoirs—Loch Raven, Liberty, and Prettyboy—to the water treatment and distribution system, these professionals work around the clock to safeguard public health and deliver safe, reliable drinking water to approximately 1.8 million people throughout the Baltimore region.
"I am proud of the dedicated DPW employees who work every day to provide safe, high-quality drinking water to 1.8 million people throughout the Baltimore region," said DPW Director Matthew Garbark. "This year's Water Quality Report reflects their commitment to protecting public health, preserving our drinking water resources, and ensuring residents can have confidence in the water that comes from their tap."
The 2025 Water Quality Report, also known as the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR), includes the results of the most recent water quality monitoring and testing conducted in accordance with requirements established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE).
DPW continues to provide the report electronically to reduce paper use and improve accessibility. Water customers will find a message and link to the report on their water bills directing them to publicworks.baltimorecity.gov/waterreport.
Printed copies of the report are available upon request by calling 311 for Baltimore City residents or 443-263-2220 for Baltimore County residents.
