Goldsboro, NC Water Source & Treatment
An educational overview of where Goldsboro drinking water comes from, how it’s treated, and where to find the official annual water quality report.
Where Goldsboro Water Comes From
Goldsboro’s drinking water is supplied by the City of Goldsboro Water Treatment Plant. The primary source of drinking water is surface water from the Neuse River.
Raw water is withdrawn from the Neuse River and transported to the city’s treatment facility where it is processed before being distributed to homes and businesses throughout Goldsboro and surrounding areas of Wayne County.
How Goldsboro Water Is Treated
Drinking water is treated at the municipal Goldsboro Water Treatment Plant, which uses conventional surface water treatment methods.
The treatment process generally includes coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection to remove particles and microorganisms before the water enters the city’s distribution system. Continuous monitoring and laboratory testing help ensure that drinking water meets state and federal drinking water safety standards.
Official Goldsboro Water Quality Report
The City of Goldsboro publishes an annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) summarizing drinking water sources, treatment processes, and contaminant testing results.
