Annual Drinking Water Quality Report 2007
Dear Customer:
We are
pleased to provide you with our 2007 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. We are proud to report that Albany water
continues to meet all State and Federal water quality standards. The City of Albany has one of the finest and
most reliable water supply systems in the nation. Albany water is the envy of communities throughout the Capital
District and beyond. In 2007, Albany
water won First Prize as the best tasting drinking water in New York State.
We have
made great strides in modernizing our system and in checking for hidden leaks,
often found in older systems such as Albany, and which can result in tremendous
waste of water. Thanks to the support
of Mayor Jennings, the Department is the most technologically advance water
department in the Capital District, with a variety of new and sophisticated
equipment.
We are
fortunate to have such a wonderful water system, and we remain committed to
doing the best job possible so that generations yet to come will be able to
rely upon the pure and abundant waters of Albany’s Alcove and Basic Creek
Reservoirs.
Robert F. Cross
Commissioner
