The City of Avondale’s goal is to provide safe and reliable water and wastewater service to its citizens; comply with all environmental and health standards; anticipate and respond to emergencies in a timely, appropriate manner.

The City's Environmental Technicians oversee water quality compliance throughout the city by sampling on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis with additional special sampling done as needed. 

The City’s drinking water source is a blend of surface water and groundwater.  We receive Colorado River water through an agreement with the City of Phoenix to deliver through their pipeline, the City's Colorado River water allocation.     

All of our groundwater water is pumped through production wells. These wells are located throughout the City to provide sufficient flows and pressures. The aquifer from which we draw water is called the West Salt River Valley Sub-Basin.  The city consumes over 13,000 acre-feet of water per year.  That is 12 million gallons every day.  

The City treats and tests at the production wells and reservoir sites.  It continues to monitor to ensure that it remains safe to your tap.  Not only do we test and monitor the water, we maintain a level of chlorine throughout the distribution system. This chlorine is important to ensure disinfection.

An annual Consumer Confidence Report of the City's water quality testing results is created and distributed by the Public Works Department. This publication is mailed to every customer in the City of Avondale service area on or before July 1st of every year.
