City of Caldwell Water Company

We're pleased to report that your municipal water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements. Through our regular monitoring and testing, we've identified certain substances in the water supply. The EPA has confirmed that your water IS SAFE at these concentrations.

All municipal water, including bottled varieties, can be expected to contain at least trace amounts of certain contaminants. The presence of these substances doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, contact the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

MCLs are established at very conservative levels. To understand the potential health implications described for regulated substances, an individual would need to consume 8 gallons of water daily at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of experiencing the described health effect.

Some individuals may be more vulnerable to water contaminants than the general population. People with compromised immune systems—such as cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, individuals with HIV/AIDS, elderly residents, and infants—may face higher risks. These individuals should seek advice from healthcare providers about their water consumption. EPA/CDC guidelines on reducing infection risks from cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available through the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

At Caldwell Waterworks, we work tirelessly to deliver quality water to every tap. We encourage all residents to help protect our vital water resources, which represent the heart of our community and our children's future.

How do I set up my utilities in Norwich?

1. Where does City of Caldwell water come from?
   City of Caldwell supplies groundwater to Caldwell, Idaho.
2. Does City of Caldwell test its tap water?
   Yes. Like every public water system, City of Caldwell must test its water under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and publish an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report). Ask the utility for the latest report or look for it on its website.
3. How do I contact City of Caldwell?
   Call 208-455-4656 or visit 411 Blaine Street, Caldwell, ID 83605, or use the contact options on the utility’s website.
4. Does City of Caldwell water contain lead?
   Water usually leaves the treatment plant without lead. Lead can enter tap water from older service lines, solder and brass fixtures inside homes, especially when water sits in the pipes. Run the tap before drinking if water has been sitting, and ask the utility about lead testing and service line records.
5. Is City of Caldwell water hard?
   Hardness depends on the source and changes over time. The annual water quality report lists hardness, or you can test it at home. If it is above about 7 grains per gallon, a water softener sized to your measured hardness will stop scale and spotting.
