Why We Flush Water Mains
United Water Delaware's spring 2004 flushing program has been completed. We will again flush our water mains in the fall 2004, beginning sometime around September or October. We wish to thank all of our customers for their patience and understanding during flushing.
United Water's flushing program is run every six months to ensure that our customers receive the highest quality drinking water. Flushing is one of the most powerful tools available to water utilities for maintaining distribution system water quality. It is part of a comprehensive 3-step approach to treating water to meet all safe drinking water standards starting at the water's source, during the treatment process and finally in the distributions system. Flushing also enhances fire protection by ensuring that hydrants are in working order throughout the neighborhoods we serve.
For more information please call our Customer Service Center in DE at 302 633 5900 or in PA at 610 497 8886.

Water Quality Report 2004
"Consumer Confidence Report 2004," also known as the "Water Quality Report," provides information on how United Water Delaware's and United Water Bethel's water compares to state and federal regulations for safe drinking water. We have developed this report in accordance with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's rule requiring all water companies to issue a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). For a copy of the 2004 CCR, you may download a copy by clicking on the link below, or contact us by phone or email and be sure to provide your name and mailing address to receive a hard copy.
