The City of Rochester is proud to supply its residents with clean, high quality water. The Bureau of Water annually produces a Water Quality Report that provides residents with information on the quality of drinking water, news on the water system, details on the source of drinking water and its treatment and test results.
The City conducts various tests on your drinking water as it makes its way from the City’s Hemlock Lake Water Treatment Plant, to the storage reservoirs, and even when it arrives in city homes.
