Drinking Water

Description and Mission of the Program

The mission of the Drinking Water program is to promote and protect the health of the people using public drinking water supplies in Cowlitz County.  Cowlitz County Health Department works in partnership with Washington State Department of Health.

A public water system is any water system providing water for human consumption.  This excludes systems serving only one single-family residence or a system with four or fewer connections all of which serve residences on the same farm (in Cowlitz County a system serving one or two single-family residences is not considered a public water system).
