MDC RELEASES 2024 WATER QUALITY REPORT MDC water met or exceeded all State and Federal standards
(HARTFORD, CT) The Metropolitan District (MDC) announced today that the drinking water provided to its customers met or exceeded all state and federal standards for 2024.
The 2024 Water Quality Report is required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The 2024 Water Quality Report is mailed out to MDC customers annually. Additionally, a copy of the report is available online to view and download on the MDC’s website at www.themdc.org in both English and Spanish. In 2024, the MDC’s potable water was once again in compliance with all state and federal drinking standards. The report includes a description of the MDC’s source waters, treatment techniques, a list of substances the water is tested for and more.
Each year the MDC conducts over 140,000 tests on the water obtained from its reservoirs, treatment plants and other sampling sites throughout the distribution system. In 2024, the MDC distributed an average of 45 million gallons of water per day to a population of approximately 400,000.
In addition, the MDC was in compliance with the EPA’s new Lead and Copper Rule, which required creating an inventory of all water services (the pipe that conveys water from the watermain in the street to a property) and their materials and making that searchable database available to all customers.
“The report confirms that MDC once again met or exceeded all state and federal standards. This reflects the unwavering dedication of our staff and ongoing investment in water quality, infrastructure and public health,” stated MDC CEO Scott Jellison. MDC Chairman Donald Currey added, “Providing safe, high-quality drinking water isn’t just a requirement, it’s a responsibility and promise to the communities we serve. This is a testament to the expertise of our staff and our commitment to transparency and public trust.”
