About
Drinking Water Intelligence for U.S. Households
Water Utility Report translates official EPA and public government data into clear, utility-specific water quality information that anyone can understand and act on.
Our Mission
Most Americans have no easy way to understand what's in their tap water. Consumer Confidence Reports exist, but they are annual PDFs written in regulatory language — hard to find, harder to interpret. The data that utilities report to the EPA is public record, but it's scattered across government databases that require technical expertise to navigate.
Water Utility Report ingests those official datasets and presents them in a utility-first format: one page per water system, showing risk level, detected contaminants, violations, treatment options, and source citations — without speculation or alarmism.
How We Work
Official data only
Every fact on this site traces back to a named government dataset — EPA SDWIS, ECHO, Consumer Confidence Reports, or the Water Quality Portal. We do not generate or infer contaminant data.
No fear-based framing
We report what the data says. A utility with no open violations gets a 'Safe' classification, even if it serves an industrial region. Risk levels reflect actual violation and detection records.
Transparent versioning
Each page shows when its data was last updated and which source it came from. We track ingestion dates and confidence scores so you know how fresh and reliable each data point is.
Built for households
The primary audience is someone who just got their water bill and wants to know what's in it. We optimize for clarity and directness, not technical completeness.
Current Coverage
Water Utility Report is currently in Stage 1, covering five states with full utility pages: California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Ohio. These states represent over 100 million residents and include a mix of large municipal systems, smaller community utilities, and significant private well populations.
Contaminant detection data from Consumer Confidence Reports is being ingested on a rolling basis. Utility pages are published when data quality meets our confidence threshold.
