The City of Arlington's tap water meets and in many cases is much better than Texas and USEPA drinking water standards that are set after robust scientific research and standard setting procedures. In 2021, our laboratory analyzed 6,131 samples for 372 different substances. The results of these tests are featured in our 2021 Consumer Confidence Report, available since May 2 at this web address: www.arlingtontx.gov/waterccr. The USEPA standards are set to provide a national standard that spans the enormity of the United States with vigorously scientifically researched standards to provide consistency and enforcement.
