We've made significant strides, together
University Park’s water quality continues to meet state and federal drinking water benchmarks, also known as the compliance action level. This progress reflects improvements that were made possible thanks to coordination with the nation’s top water chemistry experts, state and federal regulators and you – our valued customers.
We previously waived water bills and waived or capped sewer bills while we laid the foundation for water quality improvements – a decision that was unprecedented by any water provider. We offered these temporary adjustments as an outward expression of our goodwill and customer care. As we continue to rebuild with you, serving you remains our highest priority.
Standard water billing policies are in place, and we continue to operate from a place of support.
