Shoreview’s commitment to providing high-quality drinking water continues to yield positive results. The city’s water quality report for January 1 to December 31, 2024, indicates that Shoreview’s water meets all health guidelines with no violations. This achievement reflects the city’s dedication to maintaining a safe and reliable water supply for its residents.
Proactive Measures Ensure Safety
In 2016, Shoreview inaugurated a state-of-the-art water treatment plant designed to address concerns related to iron and manganese levels in the water supply. The facility employs advanced filtration processes, including forced draft aeration and dual-sand filters, to effectively remove these elements. This proactive approach has significantly improved water quality and reduced customer complaints.
Community Involvement in Well Sealing
To further protect the groundwater supply, Shoreview encourages residents to participate in well-sealing initiatives. Unused private wells can pose contamination risks if not properly sealed. The city collaborates with the Minnesota Department of Health to offer resources and cost-sharing assistance for well sealing. Residents are urged to take advantage of these programs to safeguard the community’s water quality.
Ongoing Commitment to Excellence
Shoreview’s utilities division remains vigilant in monitoring and maintaining the city’s water infrastructure. Regular hydrant flushing, water leak detection, and adherence to watering restrictions from May 15 to September 15 each year are part of the city’s comprehensive strategy to ensure a sustainable and safe water supply.
Residents with questions or concerns about water services are encouraged to contact the public works office during business hours or the after-hours emergency line for urgent issues. Shoreview’s dedication to water quality exemplifies its commitment to the health and well-being of the community.
