CFU Provides Quality Drinking Water

Providing high-quality drinking water is not just our job. It is our commitment to the community we serve. 

Our water team works around the clock to deliver safe, reliable water to every tap while keeping rates affordable now and into the future.

How We Treat and Monitor Your Water

The treatment process begins at each of our eight well sites where water is pumped from the Silurian-Devonian aquifer. The water obtained is of such high quality that only chlorine and fluoride are added at the well sites.

Water quality is confirmed through a comprehensive testing and monitoring program. Certified water operators conduct daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual tests to ensure the water delivered to homes and businesses is safe and dependable.

We are proud to report that Cedar Falls drinking water meets or surpasses all federal and state water quality standards.

Our Water. Our Community.

At Cedar Falls Utilities, protecting drinking water is a responsibility we take personally. It is protected every day by local professionals who live and raise families here. Cedar Falls' drinking water comes from a local aquifer and is protected through regular testing, monitoring and preventative maintenance to help keep it safe, reliable and affordable for our community.

 

Water Service Line Inventory Requirement

Cedar Falls has successfully completed its lead service line inventory in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's requirements outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations 40 CFR 141.84(a)(9)). To determine the water service materials throughout Cedar Falls, Cedar Falls Utilities leveraged multiple resources, including the 1988 Lead Ban, service card records, construction field data, distribution maps, construction oversight, plumbing codes, field inspections and statistical analysis.

We are pleased to report that our system contains no lead service lines, galvanized lines requiring replacement or any unknown materials that may contain lead.
