PurityMap's record for Brainerd holds 32 findings: 1 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference and 30 not detected, from 32 evidence records. Every finding links to its source; a substance that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

PurityMap does not issue a safety verdict. It publishes Brainerd's measured results against each contaminant's benchmark so you can read them in context. Safety depends on the specific finding, your plumbing, and how the water reaches your tap.

The latest published record for Brainerd is dated 2026-10-15. Utilities report on regulatory cycles, so results reflect the monitoring period rather than a live reading.

No. It is assessed at the water-system level from Brainerd's own monitoring. It does not cover the service line to your building or the plumbing inside it, which can add lead and other metals after the water leaves the system. A tap test is the way to know what reaches your glass.

Copper (90th percentile) and Lead (90th percentile) were detected in this record. Each finding shows its measured value, its reference and its source on this page.

Start with what the record shows: the lead findings above list each measured value against its reference. This record cannot show your home's plumbing, so a tap test tells you what reaches your glass. If you decide to treat your water, look for a filter whose certification covers the specific contaminant in your record; the section "Certified for a concern found here" lists only products with a current certification record for these concerns.
