Bellevue’s high-quality drinking water comes from the watersheds of the Tolt and Cedar rivers, and meets or exceeds all state and federal drinking water standards. Stringent testing throughout the year shows that your water is safe.
Bellevue Utilities designs, operates and maintains the city’s water storage and distribution system to make sure your water is safe and reliable every time you turn on the tap. In addition, Bellevue ensures water quality in a number of ways:
- Ongoing inspection and cleaning reduces leaks and removes accumulated sediments from reservoirs;
- A cleaning process removes sediments that naturally collect in pipelines;
- Computer technologies help keep water fresher by reducing the amount of time the water spends in pipes on the way to your home;
- Water quality testing stations located throughout the water system ensure citywide monitoring for potential contaminants; and
- A cross connection control/backflow prevention program helps prevent contaminating fluids from being pulled into the city’s water system.
- Drinking water quality is monitored throughout the city.
- Procedures used during water main breaks protect drinking water.
- Water storage tank inspections and cleaning ensure secure and sanitary conditions.
