To comply with state and federal regulations, the Evansville Water and Sewer Utility (EWSU) issues an annual report describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of the report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and the need to protect your drinking water sources.

Keeping your water safe for cooking, bathing and other household uses is the Evansville Water and Sewer Utility’s (EWSU’s) top priority.
Visit our Lead Safety page to learn how EWSU ensures our water is safe and how you can test your water and reduce your exposure.
Knowing the water quality at your home or building is important. But not everyone needs to have their tap water tested for lead. New homes and homes built after 1986 are less likely to have lead pipes and plumbing fixtures. To request to have your water tested for free complete and submit the Contact Us form or call our Customer Service office at 812-436-7846.
In addition to testing our drinking water, EWSU regularly tests the lead and copper in water at high-risk homes in accordance with IDEM’s guidelines. Test results for these select homes are consistently below EPA’s requirements. In 2024, 86% of the water sampled had non-detectable levels of lead, and 14% had levels that were well below the action level for lead.
