In addition to these upgrades, we encourage our customers to always report suspicious activity at any water facility by calling the police at 911.

Although the specifics of physical security upgrades cannot be discussed, actions are being taken to further protect the drinking water system, as part of the National Strategy for Homeland Protection. Maintaining the security of our drinking water is an extremely high priority for the City of Peoria, and these projects help us to accomplish that objective.
