Keep an eye on your mailbox for MSWD’s annual Water Quality Report, also known as the Consumer Confidence Report. Mailed to all customers in the district’s service area, this report provides a helpful snapshot of the water quality data collected during the previous calendar year and explains where your water comes from, how it is tested, and how it is protected.
All community water systems in the U.S. are required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to produce and distribute an annual water quality report. These reports are due to customers by July 1st each year. The report compiles and shares the data collected throughout the previous year.
Behind the scenes, MSWD’s Water Production Team works year-round to deliver safe, reliable drinking water. Water quality is monitored every day, with as many as 5,500 tests and analyses performed each year. The report offers a comprehensive look at those results and highlights the district’s ongoing commitment to meeting and exceeding all state and federal drinking water standards.
MSWD water is not only safe to drink, but also award-winning. The District has earned 11 medals, 3 of which are gold, at the annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Competition, including a bronze medal in 2025. These honors reflect the dedication of our staff protecting our groundwater and the exceptional quality of the water we provide to our community every day.
In addition to reporting water quality data, the CCR serves as an annual recap of the district’s work, from completed initiatives to ongoing projects. It also gives customers a better understanding of the extensive testing, treatment, and monitoring that takes place throughout the year to protect public health and maintain confidence in the drinking water supply.
