How do I find out what is in my drinking water?

The Forsyth County Department of Water and Sewer is pleased to provide all of its customers with dependable, sanitary, and clean drinking water. The drinking water provided to you in 2021 met all EPA and state drinking water health standards (the year covered by the 2022 Water Quality Report). The Water Quality Report provides information about the source of your water, what it contains, and how it measures up to regulatory agency standards.
