Lebanon Water Quality Update

The City of Lebanon would like to assure citizens our drinking water is safe for consumption. We are aware there is currently a discoloration in the city water supply.

As always, our staff is working around the clock to ensure our drinking water continues to be safe for our citizens. Officials are also working on a resolution for this issue, but in the meantime, we will keep citizens informed weekly of our water sample results.

Annual Water Quality Reporting 

Lebanon's drinking water is tested frequently and the results can be found in the Consumer Confidence Reports. Current information regarding our Lebanon Water Treatment plant can be found here and all previous water quality reports can be accessed here
