EPA regulations require water providers to routinely test public drinking water supplies for:
- Bacteria and other microorganisms.
- Numerous other naturally-occurring or man-made organic, inorganic, and radiochemical constituents.
Tucson Water also tests for additional parameters to further evaluate water quality.
