From EPA SDWIS. A clean violation history means no enforcement action was recorded; it does not cover contaminants without a limit.

No result is not a pass. Your utility's annual water quality report may list them, and a certified lab test covers your own tap.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Edina tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Edina, PFBA 25.3 ng/L was detected, with no federal or state limit. Edina (PWSID MN1270011) has a Purity Score of 71/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.
Who provides tap water in Edina?
Edina (PWS ID MN1270011) is the public water system on record for Edina, Minnesota, serving about 53,494 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does Edina get its drinking water?
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Edina's water?
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2023-03-21 to 2023-09-28), PFBA was detected at 25.3 ng/L. It has no federal or state limit, so PurityMap shows it without grading it. No PFAS with a limit was detected.
Is there lead in Edina's tap water?
Lead is not in Edina's current published record. Lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so a certified home test is the way to know yours.
What does the latest Edina water report show?
PurityMap's current record for Edina holds 32 findings: 2 above a reference, 1 detected with no limit and 29 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

Every value is the published result from the cited public record. A reporting limit is the lowest level the method could reliably quantify; a non-detect is not a guarantee of zero.

Something off with your water's smell, color or taste?
Start with the hot-or-cold tap check. Where Edina reported something related, it's shown below.
- Rotten-egg smell
- Cloudy or milky water
- Chlorine smell
- Brown or yellow water
- Metallic taste
Lead at Edina: not detected (90th percentile, 2022–2024 monitoring period). Lead has no taste, so a taste neither shows nor rules it out.
Copper: 1.73 mg/L (90th percentile, 2014–2016 monitoring period). The federal action level is 1.3 mg/L.
