The city’s 2025 Water Quality Report is here, and we’re proud to share that Independence drinking water continues to meet or exceed all federal and state standards.

Our public works department works around the clock to provide safe, dependable, high-quality water to our community. Throughout the year, the city tests for dozens of contaminants, and all detected levels remained at or below safe standards.

Thank you for helping us protect and preserve our water resources for the future. You can read the full report here: https://www.ci.independence.or.us/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/WQR-Independence-OR-Web-CM2025.pdf
