Where the water comes from
Lamont Water System draws water from 2 wells (1 of them for emergency, seasonal or other part-time use).
Annual water quality report
Lamont Water System must give its customers an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) by July 1, with the levels its tests found in the previous year.
Systems serving 500 or fewer people may meet the rule by telling customers the report is available on request, so you may need to ask Lamont Water System for a copy.

Testing your own water
To test the water at your tap, or a private well this record does not cover, use a laboratory certified for drinking water by Washington.
