Water Quality Report

The City of Lakeville provides water to its residents from a groundwater source: 17 wells ranging from 460 to 864 feet deep. The wells draw water from the Prairie DuChien and Jordan aquifers and the Franconia-Ironton-Galesville formation.

Lakeville has six water towers and one ground storage tank that store a total of 11.85 million gallons of water.

Water Treatment Facility

The Lakeville Water Treatment Facility was built in 1998 and expanded in 2001 and 2015 to serve the needs of residents and meet the demands of the City's significant development.

Water Standards

The City complies with rigorous state and federal standards to ensure that the water delivered to residents is both safe and good tasting. The primary water treatment processes, using chlorine and potassium permanganate, are expressly designed to oxidize and remove iron and manganese. Fluoride is added in accordance with the Minnesota Department of Health criteria to promote dental health.

The hardness of water for the City of Lakeville is 18 grains per gallon. When setting up a water softener we suggest you set the grain amount at 14-16 grains per gallon. If water is over-softened, it may become corrosive.
