“We hope this report will inform the community about their tap water and inspire confidence that the water we all rely on is of the highest quality possible,” said Water/Irrigation Manager Mike Shane. “In pursuit of that goal the Water/Irrigation Division staff is committed to around-the-clock vigilance and service. We are proud to announce the City’s tap water meets and exceeds all state and federal requirements.”

- The City of Yakima won the Best Tasting Water award in the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Central Washington Subsection competition during March 2023.
- The City of Yakima Water Treatment Plant has received the Gold Certificate of Achievement, presented by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) Office of Drinking Water for meeting the high standards of DOH’s Treatment Optimization Program for 10 continuous years.
