Water Quality Report
Drinking Water Quality Report
As of Friday May 10, 2013, Fort Wayne City Utilities' drinking water turbidity (water clarity) is 0.05 NTU. This is below the 0.3 NTU, which is the maximum established by the EPA.
The flavor profile analysis (taste and odor) is 3 FPN compared to our goal of 6 or less FPN.
The most recent tests for cryptosporidium and giardia found both to be non-detectable.

River Water Quality Report
Testing is not done in the winter months.
Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) and other sources may contribute to river water quality degradation. Water quality is considered to be degraded if levels of bacteria are greater than the standard set by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. E. coli bacteria counts should not exceed 235 organisms per 100 mls. of water.
