Mayor Evans delivers 2024 State of the City Address

Rochester is strong and getting better every day because City leaders and their partners are making critical investments that are empowering residents, perpetuating sustained growth, and expanding wealth.

“Look at where we are and you see a Rochester that, for the first time in more than 70 years, is nurturing growth and gaining value,” Mayor Evans said. “You see a city where people in every neighborhood are building equity and creating generational wealth. And all of this is accelerating the pace of positive change; where each new improvement begets more improvement.”

Water sources and services

About City of Rochester water service

The City of Rochester provides potable water to its residents. Each property that has an active, metered service can consume water from the distribution system. The City turns water on for new structures or for properties that formerly canceled water service, and turns water off when owners of unoccupied properties request that water service be discontinued.
