Water quality reports

See reports below for 2025 testing:

Daily water operations

Water operations include operation and maintenance of city-owned water systems including Winslow, Rockaway Beach, and the Public Works Facility systems. The Winslow Water System serves the historic downtown Winslow and Fletcher Bay areas. Rockaway Beach Water System serves customers along Rockaway Beach Drive and the Public Works Facility serves city maintenance personnel. These systems have a combined infrastructure that includes:

Infrastructure Component	Total
Active Reservoirs	4
Backflow Accounts	1,593
Distribution Valves	1000+
Fire Hydrants	832
Miles of Water Main	44
Pressure Reducing Stations	16
Service Meters	2857
Supply Wells	13

Treatment and quality

At each major well site, water is treated with chlorine and fluoride before being pumped into the distribution system to fill reservoirs and supply customers. An active cross-connection control program helps protect the water system from contamination and water quality is regularly monitored and tested to ensure that it meets all state and federal regulations.

Activities
Water activities supply over 200-million gallons of water annually to 6,000 customers. The water system infrastructure is monitored by telemetry 24/7. The main supply wells draw from four separate aquifers providing flexibility to meet changing conditions and future demands.
