CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT <br />White Bear Lake 2020 Drinking Water Report <br />Making Safe Drinking Water <br />Your drinking water comes from a groundwater source: four wells ranging from 476 to 970 feet deep, that <br />draw water from the Prairie Du Chien -Jordan, Jordan and Wonewoc-Mt.Simon aquifers. <br />White Bear Lake works hard to provide you with safe and reliable drinking water that meets federal and <br />state water quality requirements. The purpose of this report is to provide you with information on your <br />drinking water and how to protect our precious water resources. <br />Contact Marty Wippler, Water Working Foreman, at 651-779-5106 or mwippler@whitebearlake.org if you <br />have questions about White Bear Lake's drinking water. You can also ask for information about how you <br />can take part in decisions that may affect water quality. <br />The U.S. Environmentaâ–º Protection Agency sets safe drinking water standards. These standards limit the <br />amounts of specific contaminants allowed in drinking water. This ensures that tap water is safe to drink for <br />most people. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates the amount of certain contaminants in <br />bottled water. Bottled water must provide the same public health protection as public tap water. <br />Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of <br />some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health <br />risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the <br />Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-500-426-4791. <br />White Bear Lake Monitoring Results <br />This report contains our monitoring results from January 1 to December 31, 2020. <br />We work with the Minnesota Department of Health to test drinking water for more than 100 <br />contaminants. It is not unusual to detect contaminants in small amounts. No water supply is ever <br />completely free of contaminants. Drinking water standards protect Minnesotans from substances that may <br />be harmful to their health. <br />Learn more by visiting the Minnesota Department of Health's webpage Basics of Monitoring and testing of <br />Drinking Water in Minnesota <br />(https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/water/factsheet/sampling.htmi). <br />How to Read the Water Quality Data Tables <br />The tables below show the contaminants we found last year or the most recent time we sampled for that <br />contaminant. They also show the levels of those contaminants and the Environmental Protection Agency's <br />limits. Substances that we tested for but did not find are not included in the tables. <br />PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY IDENTIFICATION (PWSID): 1620024 PAGE 1 <br />
