Water Quality
To protect public health, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) set the standards for public drinking water quality. These standards require specific action, including public notification, if levels of certain contaminants are exceeded.
To ensure safe drinking water for the public, the water supply is chlorinated. Other treatment includes manganese removal and the addition of sodium hydroxide for corrosion control. Covington Water District's Wellhead Protection Plan helps protect our groundwater supplies from contamination, and ensures a safe drinking water supply for our customers.
