The Town of Cary announced on May 8 the release of its 2025 Annual Water Quality Report, confirming that the community’s drinking water continues to meet or exceed all federal and state standards. The announcement coincides with National Drinking Water Week.
The annual report is federally mandated and is available online at carync.gov/waterreport. It shares results from thousands of drinking water quality tests conducted over the past calendar year. Residents may also request a paper copy by contacting Cary 311 through carync.gov/311, by calling 311, or by dialing (919) 469-4000 if outside Cary limits.
According to the report, in 2025 Cary produced more than 8.3 billion gallons of drinking water, all meeting regulatory requirements. The document details treatment processes, testing results, and ongoing efforts to ensure a safe and reliable supply. Key initiatives highlighted include proactive monitoring for emerging contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and 1,4-dioxane. Additionally, a comprehensive service line inventory confirmed there are no lead service lines in the system.
Water conservation remains an important focus for Cary. Since launching its conservation program in 1996, the community has achieved a reduction in per-person water use by about thirty percent.
“Our team works around the clock to ensure the water delivered to our community is safe, reliable, and of the highest quality,” said Jamie Revels, Director of Utilities. “Drinking Water Week is a great opportunity to highlight the dedication of water professionals and to share transparency through our annual report.”
