Deer Park Quality Reports & Drinking Water Quality
City of Deer Park
The drinking water quality report from WHS presents findings from examinations conducted by the water service provider and shared with the Environmental Working Group through collaboration with the Washington State Department of Health. It also includes data sourced from the U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History database (ECHO). In the most recent quarter evaluated by the U.S. EPA (January 2021 - March 2021),
Where Does My Water Come From?
Your water comes from eight shallow municipal wells sunk into an underground water source known as the Deer Park Basin. The depth of the wells and lack of city-owned land around them places them in a high rating for contamination according to Department of Health guidelines. After the water comes out of the wells, it is treated by adding disinfectant to protect you against public health hazards. We're required to monitor our drinking water for specific contaminants regularly. Those results are an indicator of our water meeting health standards.

Contaminants Detected
Legal Doesn't Mean Safe
- Meeting legal standards doesn't always equate to safety. A passing grade from federal authorities doesn't necessarily signify that the Water Quality aligns with the latest health guidelines.
- It's been nearly two decades since the permissible levels of contaminants in tap water were last updated.
- The most reliable method for ensuring clean City Water is by preventing pollution from entering the source water in the first place.
