Our Water Source

In 2023, MUB produced 3.6 billion gallons of drinking water, an average of 9.897 million gallons per day. The main source of drinking water for the Morgantown area is surface water from the Monongahela River, which supplied 70.05 percent of the area’s drinking water. The remaining 29.95 percent of our raw water supply was taken from the Cobun Creek reservoir.

To ensure a safe and acceptable product to our customers, MUB constantly monitors our two sources of raw water. The average results of these analyses are shown in the chart to the right.

MUB works through various water industry associations and watershed groups to promote best management practices, to support important programs and improvements to protect the water environment, and to contribute to improved policy making and regulation affecting our water quality.

Source Water Assessment

During 2023 MUB continued its efforts to protect our source water. Progress was made to continue upstream water monitoring, for continuous upstream monitoring via a pontoon-base station, and development of a more accurate water model to predict flow rates and time of travel in the Monongahela River. During 2023 the source water protection program was updated. A public version is available at https://mub.org/swpp.
