Information for Consumers

In Maryland, more than 4.8 million people are served daily by more than 3,400 public drinking water systems, ranging in size from a drinking fountain at a roadside rest area to a large metropolitan drinking water system. Each Marylander relies on their water system (whether large or small) to provide a safe and dependable supply of water, both now and in the future.
