Consumer Confidence Water Quality Report

The District’s Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) on the safety and quality of the community’s drinking water is now available. The District is proud to be your water system manager, and of the quality of the water we supply. It is important to communicate to our customers the source of their water and what is in the water they drink. The Report also encourages consumers to consider and appreciate the challenges of delivering safe drinking water. Educated consumers are more likely to help protect their drinking water sources and understand the true cost of safe drinking water. The Consumer Confidence Report for calendar year 2022 is now available on www.kmpud.com at this link: https://www.kmpud.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-Consumer-Confidence-Report.pdf
