Baltimore, Maryland water solutions

Baltimore tap water is treated to meet federal and state standards and is safe to drink. Before it’s distributed to residents, the local water supply undergoes disinfection, filtration and other treatment. Baltimore’s Department of Public Works (DPW) also adjusts the pH to ensure it’s safe for consumption. Local water is tested for contaminants at least 360 times each month to ensure it meets regulations.

While your employees can safely drink Baltimore water, Culligan Quench water coolers offer advanced filtration systems for cleaner water options.

Baltimore’s water is classified as hard because of its high concentration of calcium and magnesium. While hard water is safe to drink, the mineral content can leave residue on glassware and limescale buildup in faucets, pipes and appliances.

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration requires businesses to provide staff with water meant only for drinking. Bottleless water coolers are a sustainable option, offering employees filtered local water whenever they want a refreshing drink.

Baltimore’s main water sources are the North Branch of the Patapsco River, Gunpowder Falls and Susquehanna River, which provide water for the residents in the Baltimore metropolitan area.

Raw water is collected and stored at the Liberty, Loch Raven and Prettyboy reservoirs. After processing at three treatment plants, the water is pumped into the distribution system and delivered to businesses.

You can connect your company’s water supply to a point-of-use filtration system to provide employees and clients with great-tasting water. Choose from countertop and freestanding water dispensers and ice machines.
