Your water bill or annual water quality report names your actual supplier.
Minneapolis (EPA PWSID MN1270024) delivers surface water to 425,300 residents. This report reflects 29 individual PFAS result(s) from the source UCMR5 observations and the latest Lead & Copper Rule 90th-percentile result. The utility's 2024 CCR reports moderately hard water and chloramine disinfection.

From EPA SDWIS. A clean violation history means no enforcement action was recorded; it does not cover contaminants without a limit.
Plumbing inside a home can add lead that the system record can't show. A tap test tells you what reaches your glass.
lead 2 µg/L, below the 15 µg/L action level (detected below the limit); 38,341 lead service lines; 132 galvanized lines to replace (context, not a tap measurement)
PFBA 12 ng/L detected (no federal or state limit)
Screening tells you if something is worth a closer look; a lab result is the number you can act on.

Lead, read as one of three ranges: 0–4, 5–15 or 15+ ppb
What it can't tell you: It shows a lead range, not an exact level, and tests nothing else unless you pay extra for the optional lab test.
Lab-certified results
ETR Laboratories
50+ substances, including lead, copper, arsenic, nitrate, hardness and coliform bacteria
What it can't tell you: It does not test PFAS, and not every result on the panel falls under the lab's accredited scope.

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Minneapolis, PFBA 12 ng/L was detected, with no federal or state limit; the lead 90th-percentile result was 2 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. Minneapolis (PWSID MN1270024) has a Purity Score of 94/100 (confidence: high), 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.
Minneapolis (PWS ID MN1270024) is the public water system on record for Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving about 425,300 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2023-05-03 to 2024-07-16), PFBA was detected at 12 ng/L. It has no federal or state limit, so PurityMap shows it without grading it. No PFAS with a limit was detected.
Minneapolis's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2022–2024) was 2 µg/L, below the 15 µg/L action level. That figure comes from sampled homes; lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so only a test at your tap tells you what you drink.
PurityMap's current record for Minneapolis holds 37 findings: 7 detected within the 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.
Minneapolis's water is recorded as 5.7 gpg, moderately hard. Hardness is an aesthetic and plumbing characteristic, not a health-based limit.

Methodology: how we analyze water. Prepared with AI assistance and reviewed by the PurityMap Editorial Team before publication.
Start with the hot-or-cold tap check. Where Minneapolis reported something related, it's shown below.
Minneapolis disinfects with chloramine (utility water-quality report).
Lead at Minneapolis: 2 µg/L (90th percentile, 2022–2024 monitoring period). Lead has no taste, so a taste neither shows nor rules it out.
Copper: 0.07 mg/L (utility water-quality report, 2024). The federal action level is 1.3 mg/L.
