Groundwater requiring treatment is extracted and directed into pressurized treatment vessels where it undergoes specialized filtration. This process effectively removes iron and manganese compounds responsible for brown water discoloration. After filtration, the water is properly disinfected before being distributed to homes throughout Meridian.
The City continues researching alternative treatment methods to enhance capabilities and deliver optimal water quality from all source wells. These comprehensive studies and construction of advanced treatment facilities require significant time and resources to implement properly.
We're committed to completing water treatment enhancement projects for existing wells by 2023, including three additional treatment facilities serving southern Meridian neighborhoods. As these facilities come online, we're already observing substantial improvements in iron and manganese removal, resulting in fewer brown water incidents citywide. We appreciate your continued patience as we work diligently to improve your household water quality.

Meridian Water Department Municipal Water Company and CDC- Where does Meridian Water Department water come from?
Meridian Water Department supplies groundwater to Meridian, Idaho. - Does Meridian Water Department test its tap water?
Yes. Like every public water system, Meridian Water Department 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. - How do I contact Meridian Water Department?
Call 208-888-4433 or visit 33 E. Broadway Ave, Meridian, ID 83642, or use the contact options on the utility’s website. - Does Meridian Water Department 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. - Is Meridian Water Department 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.
