Introduction  

The City of Peoria Utilities Department 
is committed to providing a sustainable, high-quality, water supply.

We provide water on a 24/7 basis that is routinely tested, treated, and very safe. In addition, we encourage every citizen to use water wisely. Since the desert is subject to naturally recurring droughts, the City of Peoria has embarked on an award-winning public education campaign to inform citizens how to conserve our valuable water resources.

Please read on for more information on how we provide you, our valued customer, with a safe and sustainable water supply.

Sincerely,

Stephen L. Bontrager, P.E., D.D.E.,
Director, Utilities Department
