Water Quality

The Dept of Health (DOH) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulate contaminant limits allowable in public drinking water systems. View Soos Creek’s 2023 Annual Water Quality Consumer Confidence Report HERE

PFAS

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals used in a wide variety of stain-resistant, water-resistant, non-stick and fire suppressant products. PFAS can get into drinking water if they are made, used, disposed of, or spilled near your water source. Fortunately, because the SPU Cedar River Watershed provides 100% of Soos Creek’s water supply, regular testing confirms that PFAS are not present in our water.
