Three Minnesota reports covering 2025 monitoring
These existing profiles were reviewed August 8, 2026. Saint Paul titles its report 2026, while Minneapolis and Rochester use 2025; all three describe 2025 monitoring, with earlier sample dates identified in individual rows.
Minneapolis · MN1270024
Mississippi River water and dated results
Minneapolis’s 2025 report describes surface water from the Mississippi River. Its existing overview keeps the report’s initial high lead and copper results together with the follow-up sampling explanation, rather than treating either in isolation.
Saint Paul · MN1620026
A 2026 edition with 2025 monitoring
Saint Paul Regional Water Services describes water primarily from the Mississippi River and the Chain of Lakes. The existing overview preserves the report’s sample dates, lead site-count context, and dated service-line information separately from its publication year.
Rochester · MN1550010
Groundwater with a documentation limitation
Rochester’s 2025 report describes groundwater from wells drawing on several aquifers. It also discloses incomplete lead-monitoring documentation and additional testing; those limitations remain part of the existing overview alongside the reported results.

Match the Minnesota record to the question
System identity
A provider can operate more than one system
The Minnesota Department of Health’s Drinking Water Protection program oversees public water systems. Its source-assessment lookup identifies individual supplies, which can include a city system, campground, business, or another separate provider.
Rochester Public Utilities’ report page offers separate reports for its Main, Meadowbrook, and Sandy Slope water systems. Match the PWSID and provider-confirmed service before choosing a report; the same utility brand does not make the reports interchangeable.
Source assessments
Source information has a different job from a CCR
MDH source-water assessments describe where a public supply’s water comes from, potential nearby threats, protection efforts, treatment, and contacts. MDH says the assessments update as information enters its databases.
A Consumer Confidence Report describes an annual reporting period. Neither an assessment update nor a new report title makes all measurements current or determines the conditions at a particular tap.
Public notices
Read the notice type and its instructions
MDH’s public-notification guidance distinguishes three notice tiers and provides different templates for situations such as pressure loss, a corrected issue, or a temporary shutdown. Some annual notifications appear in a CCR.
An annual report, a pressure advisory, and a service-line material notice answer different questions. Check the issue date, affected system and area, and any correction or rescission with your provider.
Official system lookup
Find a Minnesota source-water assessment
Use MDH’s assessment search for system identity and source-water context, then confirm service directly with the provider.
Search steps
Search by public water supply name or county
- Open Find a Source Water Assessment and choose Public Water Supply Name or County.
- Enter the provider’s name or select the county, then choose Search.
- Compare PWS Name and ID in the results. A name search may return several unrelated systems; select the exact matching PWS Name to open its assessment.
- Use the provider to confirm address-level service and clarify any record. Use the CCR and current provider notices for their separate reporting and instruction purposes.
Verified example
Minneapolis · 1270024 and MN1270024
The MDH name search for Minneapolis returned five matches during this review. The city system appeared as Minneapolis, ID 1270024, with Surface Water as its source of supply; other matches included campgrounds and a gun club.
EPA’s exact-ID record uses MN1270024 for MINNEAPOLIS, matching the existing profile. Keep the identifier as each source presents it, and confirm the name and provider rather than selecting the first similar name.

Reports, service lines, and household questions
Annual reports
Search for the right system’s report
MDH’s Consumer Confidence Reports page links to a search by city name, supplier name, or PWS Id. Check the system and monitoring period after finding a document; the report’s title year may differ from its monitoring year.
You can also use the utility’s report collection. If a report is unavailable or you need another format or language, ask the provider what it can supply. Rochester’s report page explicitly provides a contact for alternative formats.

Current instructions
Use your provider’s updates and contacts
Saint Paul Regional Water Services points readers to its service alerts and provider contacts. Minneapolis’s water page and Rochester’s water-quality page also provide utility contact paths.
Ask which notification channels apply to your service. An older issued-and-lifted notice or an empty search result cannot establish that no current notice applies to an address.

Lead service lines
A missing map icon needs a provider check
The Minnesota lead-inventory tool describes service-line material for buildings connected to public water supplies. Its guide explains ownership arrangements and asks readers to contact their public water supply if an address has no icon.
Ask the provider about material on both portions of the line and any unknown classification. A service-line material record is separate from a lead test of household water; this guide does not supply a property-level material determination.
PFAS records
Use the community-system dashboard in context
MDH’s PFAS dashboard guide describes community water system testing. It explains how to choose a system on the map and use the county search panel; MDH suggests zooming in if map data are slow to load.
Check the selected system, sample date, compounds, and reporting limits with the provider. The dashboard guide is not a household test or a private-well result, and a missing entry is not a zero.
Private wells
Choose the test and laboratory before sampling
MDH’s private-well guidance makes regular testing the owner’s responsibility and provides separate well-testing and results resources. It also links a map of accredited laboratories that accept private-well samples, with different available analyses.
Confirm the test, sample collection instructions, and acceptance arrangements with the laboratory. A public-system report or service-line map does not test a private well.
Lookup questions
Using Minnesota’s water information
Why does a Minneapolis search show other systems?
The assessment search matches names, not just city governments. During review it also returned campgrounds, a gun club, and another business. Match Minneapolis ID 1270024 to the provider you intend to find; EPA presents that system as MN1270024.
Why does Saint Paul’s report say 2026?
That is the edition title of the reviewed Saint Paul report. It covers 2025 monitoring, and individual rows can include earlier dates. Use the reporting period and row dates rather than the title year alone.
Can I choose any report on RPU’s website?
RPU lists reports for three separate systems: Main, Meadowbrook, and Sandy Slope. Confirm the system serving your property before using a report. The Rochester profile here is the Main system, identified as 1550010 in RPU’s listing and MN1550010 in EPA records.
What if the lead map has no icon for my address?
The tool directs readers to their public water supply when an icon is missing. Ask the provider to clarify the record and any unknown material; no icon does not establish a non-lead line or the result of a water test.
