Introduction

To protect Public Health and satisfy Public's right to know about local Environmental information, EPA established the requirement that Water Suppliers must provide annual water quality information to their customers.  This information will be specially beneficial to new residents and people planning to move in the city of Pembroke Pines.  Environmental Services, a division of Public Services Department of the City of Pembroke Pines is providing its residents with its annual water quality report.  The report explains water source, how water is treated, contaminants detected, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies.  For more information about your drinking water, please contact us at 954-450-6900.

In the unlikely event of a Water Emergency, boil drinking water until further notice. Boil water vigorously for three minutes. Improve taste by pouring from one vessel to another several times. Stay tuned to television and radio for announcements.

Does a home water treatment device make tap water safer and more healthful?

Filters may change the taste, smell or appearance of tap water, but will not necessarily make the water safer to drink.  All home treatment devices require regular maintenance or water quality problems may result.
