The Monroe County Water Authority (MCWA) provides drinking water service to most of the suburban towns in Monroe County. If you're moving to a suburb like Webster, Penfield, Greece, Henrietta, or others outside the City of Rochester, your water service will likely come through MCWA.
If you're moving within the City of Rochester, water is managed by the City's Bureau of Water. In both cases, you'll want to confirm who your water provider is and set up your account before or shortly after move-in. For rentals, water may be included in your lease — check with your landlord.
MCWA draws water from Lake Ontario and Hemlock and Canadice Lakes in the Finger Lakes region. Rochester's water quality is consistently rated excellent.
