Good Tasting, Safe Drinking Water is as Close as Your Kitchen Faucet

If you could choose to drink something that tastes great, is good for your health, easy to access, environmentally-friendly, inexpensive and has won as many awards as some Hollywood film stars, the choice would be clear. It is Santa Ana’s tap water and it’s right at your fingertips, 24/7!

Santa Ana‘s drinking water is stringently treated and tested. It not only consistently meets and exceeds all federal and state drinking water standards; it also enjoys a long history of winning competitive industry awards.

Beginning in 2011, we have captured multiple coveted honors – including bronze, silver and gold – in the annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting competition, which is dedicated to preserving and protecting drinking water. The awards are given to agencies demonstrating the best-tasting and highest-quality tap water, and reflect Santa Ana’s steadfast commitment to ensuring a healthy, reliable and – most of all – safe drinking water supply for everyone throughout our community.

 

 

Reasons Why Tap vs Bottled Wins!

Is bottled water cheaper than tap?

Definitely not! Bottled water costs about 80 cents per gallon. Santa Ana tap is half a cent per gallon. 

Is bottled water better for the environment?

No. Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. According to Food and Water Watch, that plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. Single-use plastic bottles contribute to the glut of waste. Instead, use a glass at home and a refillable container when on the go.

Is bottled water safer?

No. As a highly regulated public agency, Santa Ana must meet higher standards, including strict California regulations, than producers of bottled water. 

What About COVID-19? 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is charged with protecting the health and safety of Americans, emphasizes, “The COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking-water supplies.” Remember, the coronavirus is transmitted person to person, not through water. Even if the coronavirus was able to live and spread through drinking water, all municipal drinking water systems like the City of Santa Ana use a multi-barrier approach to ensure your drinking water is safe. No matter how, when and where you enjoy a refreshing drink of Santa Ana water, we want you to know you can always … TRUST THE TAP!
