Tap vs. Bottled Water: What You Should Know

There are many common assumptions about bottled water and tap water. One of the biggest myths is that bottled water is always safer or more closely regulated.

Here are a few key facts to keep in mind:

• Tap water is highly regulated and routinely tested
  Public drinking water systems like BCVWD must meet strict state and federal standards, with regular testing conducted throughout the year.
• Water quality is closely monitored
  BCVWD water is tested by certified staff and analyzed by independent, state-certified laboratories at the source, throughout the system, and at storage facilities.
• Transparency matters
  Public water systems are required to share water quality information with customers, including annual Consumer Confidence Reports.

BCVWD remains committed to providing safe, dependable drinking water and keeping our community informed about how water quality is monitored and maintained.
