Your Water Quality

Several State and Federal Regulatory Agencies govern water quality and testing of public water supply systems. Your drinking water is regularly sampled and tested for harmful bacteria, mineral and heavy metal contaminants and other constituents.

Testing frequency requirements are partially based on water system size (number of customers) and past history.

We are pleased to report that the Dobbin Plantersville Water Service Corporation has an unblemished record in supplying our customers with clean, safe drinking water.

The TCEQ is the primary regulatory agency governing specific quality control.
