The Coos Bay North Bend Water Board Celebrates Drinking Water Week, May 4-10, 2025

The Coos Bay North Bend Water Board reaffirms its commitment to providing high-quality drinking water during Drinking Water Week, May 4-10, 2025. Stop by the Water Board office this week for giveaways—while supplies last!

Access to clean, safe drinking water is essential not only for public health but also for community well-being and economic growth. Reliable water supports businesses, strengthens schools and healthcare systems, and improves quality of life for all.

As in previous years, your tap water met all health standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state authorities. The Coos Bay North Bend Water Board is proud to report that our system met all water quality requirements in 2024.

Additionally, in 2024, the Water Board completed an extensive inventory of service lines—spanning hundreds of miles—to comply with a new rule from the Oregon Health Authority. No lead service lines were found.

For those concerned about lead in drinking water, testing is recommended. You can find information on lead testing methods and ways to reduce exposure through the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or by visiting [url=http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead]http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead[/url].
