MDC water met or exceeded all State and Federal standards

The Metropolitan District (MDC), which has several reservoirs in West Hartford, announced this week that the drinking water provided to its customers met or exceeded all state and federal standards for 2025.

The 2025 Water Quality Report is required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Safe Drinking Water Act.  The 2025 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 2025, 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 2025, the MDC distributed an average of 46.7 million gallons of water per day to a population of approximately 400,000.

“The results of the report year after year confirm of the high quality of the MDC’s drinking water and reflects the unwavering dedication of our staff and ongoing investment in water quality, infrastructure and public health,” stated MDC CEO Scott Jellison.

“MDC’s annual water quality report once again affirms that our system is delivering clean, reliable drinking water that meets the highest standards. As representatives of the MDC’s member towns, the Metropolitan District Commission takes great pride in supporting the investments, oversight, and skilled workforce that make this possible, while remaining accountable to the communities who trust us every day,” said Donald Currey, MDC Chairman.
