An important survey on your water quality


A way to be heard on water issues that affect your daily life

In order to properly plan for the island water system, we need to know what's coming out of your tap. We hope to use the information in this water quality survey to understand what types of quality problems exist, target geographic areas of need and prioritize our strategies. Your participation in this information-gathering process is very important, and we hope that all district residents will take a few moments to fill out this simple survey.
