Iowa American Water’s Water Quality Report Cards Available Online

Iowa American Water announced today that the company’s 2015 Consumer Confidence Reports (water quality reports) are now accessible to customers online at its web site and through its Facebook page.

The annual report is a performance measure of the quality of water supplied by Iowa American Water against the compliance standards established by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. It describes local drinking water sources, testing conducted on the water, substances detected, and the levels of those substances. The report includes water quality date for the year ending December 31, 2014. Commonly asked questions and answers concerning local drinking water are also included in the report.

Iowa American Water switched to an online water quality report several years ago as part of its green initiative that promotes a more efficient and environmentally-friendly option for delivering reports on its water quality information. Customers can find their specific report on the Iowa American Water website at www.amwater.com/iaaw. Printed copies of the report are available to customers who cannot -- or do not wish to -- access it online. Customers can call the company’s customer service center at 1-866-641-2108 to request a copy of their local district’s report be mailed to them.

“The online delivery methods support Iowa American Water’s commitment to ongoing environmental quality and do not minimize the importance of the annual report to customers,” said Director of Operations Mary Jane Midgett. “We are pleased to report that the water supplied to our customers is of higher quality than required by state and federal drinking water standards. Our teams of water quality and plant operations professionals work hard each and every day to ensure the highest quality water and service to our customers. These annual results are a testament to their dedication, and we encourage our customers to familiarize themselves with the information in these reports.”
