Let’s paint a picture for what it takes the City of Tucson Water Department to ensure that their customers receive high quality water and excellent service in a safe, reliable, efficient and environmentally responsible manner – every single day. Here’s a snapshot: Tucson Water’s Water Quality and Operations Division environmental scientists, chemists, analysts, disinfection personnel, system and water treatment operators, and inspectors work together to monitor the quality of our drinking water at more than 200 wells, 61 reservoirs, 266 sampling stations, and 125 selected homes throughout the Tucson Water service area. Clearly not an easy task.  And sometimes things can go wrong and then what happens?  Join me to learn from the man in charge of this HUGE operation and to learn about the many moving parts it takes to deliver our water from the aquifer to our faucets and what’s in place to fix things when they go wrong.
