Sunrise Utilities Lab
	Sawgrass Treatment Plant

The Utilities Department obtains its water supply from groundwater wells that draw from the Biscayne Aquifer. In order to provide its customers with water that is clean and safe, the City's water treatment facilities utilize several processes, such as lime softening, membrane filtration, chlorination and fluoridation. The City routinely monitors its drinking water for compliance with Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Act and other state and local water quality standards.

Each year, the City issues a drinking water quality report to keep its customers informed, and to demonstrate its compliance with EPA standards.

For information regarding water quality in your City of Sunrise service area, please refer to the water quality reports provided below, or contact the Utilities Department at (954) 888-6000.

Sunrise Water System Lead and Copper Testing Program

As of March 8, 2011, the City Commission approved the Sunrise Water System Lead and Copper Testing Program. In compliance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule all public water systems are required to conduct tap water monitoring for lead and copper.  While the water leaving the City's treatment plants has no detectable level of lead, of concern to the EPA is the possibility of lead leaching from solder material used to join copper pipes in indoor plumbing, a construction method that was widely used in South Florida during the period from 1983 to June 1988.
