Source Water Assessment Area - Surface Water

To assist in the development of Source Water Assessments for public water suppliers using surface water intakes, the Minnesota Department of Health assembled a local source water assessment team to develop each source water assessment. Each source water assessment includes 1) a general description of the area which supplies water to the public water supply system, 2) an overview of why this water supply is susceptible to potential contaminants, 3) a description of the contaminants of concern which may impact the users of the public water supply, and 4) to the extent practical, the origins of the contaminants of concern.
