The Department of Water will mail out 2008 Water Quality Reports to Kaua'i residents this month.

The reports contain information on each of the 11 water systems on Kaua'i, including: sources of water, levels of contaminants in the water, compliance with drinking-water rules, and some educational information.

The Safe Water Drinking Act, a federal law, requires water utilities to provide water quality information to its customers every year.

For more information or additional copies of the reports, call the Department of Water at 245-5455 or visit its www.kauaiwater.org Web site.
