Water Quality
All of the water Sweetwater Authority provides to customers must pass many tests designed to guarantee its safety. The Authority makes sure that the water meets or exceeds federal, state and local regulations for water quality, and provides annual consumer confidence reports about water quality to each consumer. For questions about water quality, please call (619) 420-1413.

Water Color, Taste & Odor Concerns
Sweetwater Authority takes pride in delivering high-quality water to our customers. Occasionally, certain occurrences within the Authority’s water sources or distribution system can affect water color, taste and odor.
See Water Color, Taste & Odor for more information on how to address water quality issues.
Water Testing Solicitations
Customers have reported door-to-door solicitations, mailed communication and phone calls regarding “water testing." These solicitors may even identify themselves as utility personnel. Sweetwater Authority does not ask to enter homes to test water without prior notice.
The City of San Diego's Protect Yourself from Scams and Imposters webpage provides more information about these types of solicitations.
