St. Helens Issues Yearly Water Quality Report
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 22, 2022
St. Helens, Ore. – The City of St. Helens has issued its 2021 water quality report detailing the results of water testing, in addition to information such as water conservation tips and essential utility billing information. The report is published on the City’s website (www.sthelensoregon.gov/publicworks/page/water-quality-reports). The City’s drinking water meets or surpasses all federal drinking water standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The City is required by the Oregon State Health Division to take 15 routine water samples monthly from designated areas throughout the city, testing for microbiological contaminants in the drinking water. Periodically, testing also looks for contaminants like arsenic, cyanide, lead, and mercury.
The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires that utility providers such as the City of St. Helens provide an annual Consumer Confidence report to their customers.
