Tap Into the Truth: MDH Offers City-by-City Water Report Lookup

ST. PAUL, MN — The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) on Thursday released its 2024 Drinking Water Annual Report, offering a comprehensive look at how well the state’s 6,585 public water systems are meeting federal standards under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

According to the report, more than 97 percent of systems complied with all federal health-based standards in 2024.

The report reflects the results of ongoing monitoring and testing conducted throughout the year. It also outlines several strategic initiatives aimed at improving water quality and access statewide.

These include efforts to replace lead service lines, safeguard drinking water infrastructure from cybersecurity threats, and address long-standing disparities in access to safe, clean water, especially in low-income communities.

In addition to the statewide report, MDH emphasizes the importance of local water quality transparency.

Every community water system in Minnesota publishes an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR), which includes specific information about the presence of any contaminants detected in the water supply. These reports are available to the public and help residents understand what’s in their tap water.

To find your community’s Consumer Confidence Report, visit the MDH website and search by your town or city name.
