Annual Report Details Safety, Sources, and Quality of Baltimore’s Drinking Water
The Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) today announced the release of its 2024 Water Quality Report, providing residents in Baltimore City and Baltimore County with important information about the quality of their drinking water.
The annual report—also known as the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR)—includes the results of water quality monitoring conducted in 2024 and confirms that Baltimore’s drinking water continues to meet or exceed all federal and state standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE).
“Our employees work around the clock to ensure the delivery of high-quality drinking water to 1.8 million people in the Baltimore region,” said DPW Director Khalil Zaied. “This report reflects their dedication to public health, environmental stewardship, and service to our communities.”
The 2024 report also highlights the work of DPW water quality professionals who monitor, treat, and ensure the delivery of water from the Loch Raven, Liberty, and Prettyboy Reservoirs, the sources of the region’s drinking water.
To support accessibility and sustainability, DPW distributes the report electronically. A link to the full report appears on water bills and is available online at: publicworks.baltimorecity.gov/waterreport.
Printed copies are available upon request by calling 311 (for Baltimore City residents) or (443) 263-2220 (for Baltimore County residents).
DPW encourages all customers to review the report and learn more about the comprehensive treatment, testing, and safety protocols that help maintain the City of Baltimore’s water system.
