Minnetrista Water Quality Background
The City of Minnetrista provides drinking water to its residents from a groundwater source: four wells ranging from 253 to 787 feet deep, that draw water from the Franconia-Mt. Simon and Quaternary Buried Artesian aquifers.
The EPA has established two standards for additional contaminants in tap water:
MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level – The maximum allowable level of a certain contaminant
MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level GOAL – The level where studies have found ZERO HEALTH RISKS, aka the “Health Limit”
