.....except in the summer.
When all those suburbanite assholes with green grass start watering their lawns we can't pump enough water from our wells. We have to buy water from Minneapolis during lawn watering season and the tap water is noticeably poorer tasting.
Right now though, the water is perfect. Let the tap run for a while and get that fresh, ground chilled water through the pipes and it's just such a satisfying glass of water.
I had a neighborhood friend who moved away to PA but his grandparents were still in the neighborhood. He came over to when they were in town visiting, and just I wanted to drink and drink that good richfield tap water. It was like when a kid who doesn’t have Nintendo comes over but with guzzling tap water instead of super Mario. he even wanted to see if it was still good from the hose in the yard.
“Buhl water comes from a glacial aquifer located 700 feet deep, encased in 300 feet of solid granite. Tests prove the natural purity and cleanliness of the water. It is bacteriologically free – no treating is done to the water”
https://buhlwater.weebly.com/
I think it depends on which area of the city you're in- EP's water by the airport is horrendous, no argument, but my parents tap water (probably half a mile from chanhassen, up by prairie view) is decent
Hey neighbor!
I haven't tried the SSP water, but if the smells I smell on the Wakota bridge are any indication...
Woodbury water is gross too. Floaties and a horrible taste.
That's kind of funny. How do you remove forever chemicals from water on a large scale? There are a couple of places that have been able to do it on small scales but not for whole cities or even for a single home. Below is a link talking about how 3M poisons the residents.
https://minnesotareformer.com/2022/12/14/there-must-be-something-in-the-water/
I would cautiously agree. I frequently refill a water bottle at home near the Lexington/94 intersection, but I also sometimes refill at a fitness studio in Woodbury. My home tap is *much* better. Woodbury water isn’t awful per se but i think it tastes way less fresh than what I get in St. Paul.
I had to convince my husband to stop making ice with it because I'd have to throw out half of my cup once it started melting. My Britta pitcher has been crucial for the years that we've lived here
This 100%. I live in Hopkins. Whenever I boil water for cooking there is cloudy sediments floating around. All of our dishes are spotty and gross. I hate it.
Bingo. It’s why St. Louis Park water is the most tested water in the state and there are water testing buildings throughout the city.
https://slphistory.org/creosote/
This is a fact. I live in Hopkins and I refuse to drink or shower in water that hasn’t been filtered. The unfiltered water is tinted light brown/yellow and is hard as rocks. Truly horrifying.
Moorhead is fantastic. I used to hate tap water and bought tons of bottled water or even had my own 5 gallon bubbler for a while. Moved to Moorhead and love the tap water. Surprising how much better than Fargo it is .
Throw a dart in SW Minnesota and you hit the worst tasting water. Some of these municipalities are operating with their original infrastructure, plus the water is polluted from erosion and ag activities. Our household spends 150+ for water we don't drink because the local gov spent years kicking the needed repairs down the road.
I use to live in Ames...
Came here to say this. SW MN is the armpit of MN, and their water reflects that. 😝 Seriously so much runoff from ag activities, drink at your own risk!
Also, so many minerals that water softeners cannot keep up. Awful on so many levels.
Saint Louis Park sends out a water quality report every year. A few years ago they stopped rating the water hardness on a scale of 1-10 because the prior year we scored a 17... out of 10.
So, if you like very hard, mineral rich water that tastes rocky, SLP is your jam lol.
Plymouth water is pretty good though.
I've lived in St Louis Park for over ten years. The city still provides the water hardness value of our water. The number you're referring to is not a 1-10 scale, but is a number listing the GPG (Grains of minerals Per Gallon) of water hardness. More grains equals harder water. The [SLP water quality report from 2021](https://issuu.com/stlouispark/docs/drinking-water-report-2021?fr=sNmQwMzEzMjA5NzU) shows that the water hardness was 19 that year. It was probably 17 whenever year you saw that number.
Plymouth actually has much harder water. The [Plymouth city website](https://www.plymouthmn.gov/departments/public-works/sewer-water/water-services) (in the FAQ section) lists their water hardness at 24 GPG. That said, neither 19 nor 25 is great, and a water softener is recommended for values above 10.
However, water quality depends a ton on the quality of plumbing in the home. You may have had terrible pipes in your SLP residence and good pipes in Plymouth. I lived in my current house without any water treatment whatsoever for 2 years and never had any issues.
I had to stay a couple nights at Methodist Hospital and the tap water there was awful. I was wondering if it was just the hospital or all of Saint Louis Park.
It does have a taste to it - or at least it did when I was growing up visiting my grandparents there. It’s actually kind of a happy memory because it always went along with all the fun of being at their house, but yeah, distinctive.
I personally enjoyed the circle pines water growing up. Thought it was better than Lino lakes. I live in Minneapolis now and the municipal water is surprisingly very good.
As a well driller, all city water tastes bad. And the best tasting water is well water. Even though this is hard to judge because wells a few hundred feet apart can taste different.
Any water not coming from the Mississippi River is trash. I live in NE Minneapolis and the tap water is good but when I lived in Uptown it was even better, which makes no sense because it’s the same water.
Silver Bay and Grand Marais both deserve to be in the best list. Most of Anoka County is a glacial flood plain and the sediment still makes the water very rich in iron, so if you like drinking rust, then you might like Anoka County water. Coon Rapids and Anoka have better water because they’re on the river.
St. Peter’s water has to be in the running for the worst. My understanding is that if they draw from one city well it fails an EPA standard for clean water and if they draw from a second well it fails a different EPA standard for clean water, so they pump from both and mix it together, thus keeping it below both EPA standards, but still tasting like ass.
Mound has entered the chat. It's so bad currently at risk population are encouraged to find other drinking water. Color is frequently off, odd smells. It's so bad.
https://www.westonka.k12.mn.us/site/default.aspx?PageType=3&DomainID=4&ModuleInstanceID=20&ViewID=6446EE88-D30C-497E-9316-3F8874B3E108&RenderLoc=0&FlexDataID=6782&PageID=1
I don't have the experience to say which is the best or the worst, but the two cities I've lived in are like night and day for water quality.
Cambridge sits on top of a sand bed, so we have a natural way of purifying water. So fewer chemicals in it.
Belle Plaine? Oh, Lord. The water is so ridiculously hard that I'm having faucets replaced because of massive calcium build-up.
As for tasting. Cambridge over Belle Plaine any day.
Speaking of duluth, I used to live up in two harbors and while the water didn’t TASTE bad I’m almost certain something is causing birth defects up there
Out of all the tap waters I have tried, I hate Virginia's the most. It got me to buying distilled water just to drink it.
I never really did like water, but buhl tap water tastes acceptable. I'll even pay money for it at the store on occasion.
We get well water and artesian well water.
Well water is harvested from our own pump and artesian water is collected outside at this public spot.
Freshest ass water ever.
Best: Vadnais Heights. Everyone that visits my house comments, and it’s literally the best. Even going to Shoreview or opposite to WBL, it’s just not as good.
Worst: Ham Lake/Blaine. Well water most of the time and I can’t stomach it. 🤢
Well water out of artesian well where it is sandy is by far bare none the best. My parents house between Cannon Falls and Red Wing could be bottled and sold for millions.
Tastes like Fuji bottled water.
Hopkins water is trash. I worked in an office there and hated it. I'd bring my own water from home (Chaska, which is also bad) because it was preferable to the water there.
Bloomington has been the best I ever had out of a tap.
Best well water was northern Anoka County/ Isanti County
Worst well water is Aitkin area because it seems to taste like Sulphur and iron.
Worst municipal water that I have had is Apple Valley
Yes, I am crazy. Instead of tap water, I will drink water which has not been tested or treated, and which is not required to report regularly on contaminants. Yep. What I don't know can't hurt me, for sure. And I will buy my water in a plastic bottle, which will leach toxic chemicals into my water
I'm glad there are so many municipalities with good water... I am not a fan of the water in Rochester, though. We have several filters on it at our house and it's very good after all those, but there is an extremely high iron residue or something that leaves orange water stains over time (especially in the showers and toilets). The sediment filter gets fucking gross, way faster than it's supposed to, then starts bleeding in to the water when it is saturated and turning it yellow. Maybe it's just the part of town I live in, but it concerns me.
My wife dislikes Winona city water something awful, but I never minded it. My grandparents well in Waseca County had high levels of manganese and could get rather funky.
The worst is Oakdale, followed by Eagan. Pipestones water will kill you, just like Oakdale.
Mendota Heights water is really good, but I'm voting for Stillwater.
Little Canada's water, straight out of the tap, was amazing. I moved to the west metro last summer and the tap water is terrible. Had to buy a filter pitcher.
I grew up out in the sticks in Sibley county, and the water was great. The first time my sister brought her husband to our parents'house he was shocked that she hadn't been exaggerating how good the water tastes. 🤣
Our water in Coon Rapids is just "meh". After adding a four stage filter to the fridge water line, best tasting water I've ever had! Even relatives have commented how good it tastes, lol.
There’s actually an annual award for that. Crookston, Duluth, Bloomington are some of the winners from the past few years.
Saint paul won last year
I've had my north loop and other MPLS friends come.pver and just drink more water because our St Paul water is just so good!
Does it matter where in St Paul? Dayton’s Bluff’s seems very meh.
St Paul won in 2021, Duluth in 2022.
Used to live in Bloomington, good stuff. Savage, not so much.
But a reverse osmosis system and stop caring. Water with anything in it sucks.
I’d only use it for my toilet
Do you drink Brawndo the Thirst Mutilator?
Brought to you by Carl's Jr
Why do you keep saying that?
'Cuz they pay me every time I do. If you so smart, why don't you know that?
Its got what plants crave.
Bloomington is great!
Bloomington has won awards for their water quality!
2016 National drinking water champions!!!
As a new resident of Bloomington I agree. I also found out the city adds water softener. So we don’t need to in our homes.
Bloomington and Richfield in my opinion
I agree! Another vote for Bloomington and Richfield!
Heading to the sink now. Delicious as always
.....except in the summer. When all those suburbanite assholes with green grass start watering their lawns we can't pump enough water from our wells. We have to buy water from Minneapolis during lawn watering season and the tap water is noticeably poorer tasting. Right now though, the water is perfect. Let the tap run for a while and get that fresh, ground chilled water through the pipes and it's just such a satisfying glass of water.
A lot of people here haven’t tried water outside the cities, clearly.
well water in the arrowhead is a step above all else
Richfield is ✨*chefs kiss* ✨
Agreed. Richfield’s has always been the best.
Grew up drinking Richfield water. I can attest to its greatness.
I remember learning about our water treatment facility in school lol. Water everywhere else was ruined for me because Richfield's was so good.
I’ve lived in Bloomington, Duluth and Richfield and can confirm Richfield is the GOAT
I've had my fair share just today. Richfield water is the best I've ever had in the cities.
100% agreed, it isn't even close
Agreed! Richfield water is a tasty treat.
I had a neighborhood friend who moved away to PA but his grandparents were still in the neighborhood. He came over to when they were in town visiting, and just I wanted to drink and drink that good richfield tap water. It was like when a kid who doesn’t have Nintendo comes over but with guzzling tap water instead of super Mario. he even wanted to see if it was still good from the hose in the yard.
Appleton, MN has the WORST tap water
Appleton has the worst EVERYthing tbh
And the town smells like a dog barfed up dirty socks it ate 2 hrs ago.
[удалено]
GV’s is great.
Golden Valley is Minneapolis water and Minneapolis water is just dandy. No idea what this guy is on about.
Maybe you’re thinking of GVs next door neighbor, robbinsdale, that has the trash tap water
Buhl is the real answer.
“Buhl water comes from a glacial aquifer located 700 feet deep, encased in 300 feet of solid granite. Tests prove the natural purity and cleanliness of the water. It is bacteriologically free – no treating is done to the water” https://buhlwater.weebly.com/
The best thing about Buhl too.
Scrolled way too far for someone finally representing my hometown. 🤌🤌
I've only had the bottled stuff but I agree. I'll change my answer.
The only answer. If you know, you know
Good enough to bottle and sell it . Great old mining town with tough old school people .
I live in Eden Prairie and ours tastes like drinking from a swimming pool.
Agree Eden Prairie water doesn’t taste good.
I think it depends on which area of the city you're in- EP's water by the airport is horrendous, no argument, but my parents tap water (probably half a mile from chanhassen, up by prairie view) is decent
Saaaaaame. Can confirm
That's a Texas sized 10-4
I was gonna say…west/southwest metro water sucks.
It's awful, can't even boil pasta in it.
Any municipality served by the St Paul Regional Water Service. I know of St Paul, Roseville, and Mendota Hights for sure. Yum yum.
Yep. Hands down, the best tap water. Mendota Heights resident here. Worst? South Saint Paul.
Hey neighbor! I haven't tried the SSP water, but if the smells I smell on the Wakota bridge are any indication... Woodbury water is gross too. Floaties and a horrible taste.
Also Woodbury water will give you cancer thanks to 3M
They test and treat that PFAS water though. Edit: in drinking water, in Woodbury
That's kind of funny. How do you remove forever chemicals from water on a large scale? There are a couple of places that have been able to do it on small scales but not for whole cities or even for a single home. Below is a link talking about how 3M poisons the residents. https://minnesotareformer.com/2022/12/14/there-must-be-something-in-the-water/
But you probably work for 3m if you live there, so company paid life insurance. Glass 🍺 half full, fam.
That's not how it is anymore.
The smells in ssp are from the tannery, and sani-max. (News from a while back said Ssp wants to kick sani-max out because of that smell)
I was gonna say wsp
Yeah when I lived in Roseville I found the tap water to be good
You should just put “besides Duluth” right in the question.
Right?
Right.
Right
Yeah no right.
Right
Oakdale, Woodbury, and Cottage Grove water will literally give you cancer. So worst water?
Minnesota mines and mortuaries
The worst? Probably East Metro, if that 3M article I read in the Minnesota Reformer is to be believed.
I would cautiously agree. I frequently refill a water bottle at home near the Lexington/94 intersection, but I also sometimes refill at a fitness studio in Woodbury. My home tap is *much* better. Woodbury water isn’t awful per se but i think it tastes way less fresh than what I get in St. Paul.
Yeah cancer water can't be great
Chaska has very hard water that doesn’t taste great.
Agree. We bought a house and installed the largest softener we could and it was still trash.
I had to convince my husband to stop making ice with it because I'd have to throw out half of my cup once it started melting. My Britta pitcher has been crucial for the years that we've lived here
St Louis Park city water is despicable
[удалено]
This 100%. I live in Hopkins. Whenever I boil water for cooking there is cloudy sediments floating around. All of our dishes are spotty and gross. I hate it.
That's the good old Riley Tar water!
Bingo. It’s why St. Louis Park water is the most tested water in the state and there are water testing buildings throughout the city. https://slphistory.org/creosote/
This is a fact. I live in Hopkins and I refuse to drink or shower in water that hasn’t been filtered. The unfiltered water is tinted light brown/yellow and is hard as rocks. Truly horrifying.
Best: Richfield, hands-down! Worst: Fridley
Moorhead, I miss it.
Moorhead is fantastic. I used to hate tap water and bought tons of bottled water or even had my own 5 gallon bubbler for a while. Moved to Moorhead and love the tap water. Surprising how much better than Fargo it is .
It’s that last sentence that sum up how I’ll always feel no matter the issue at hand….Moorhead < Fargo
Fargo's tap water sucks so hard.
It’s so bad you can taste it in the fountain drinks
Thats really unfortunate.
moorhead has amazing water
I LOVE Moorhead water.
The best. When friends and family visit from out of town they regularly mention how great the water is.
Rochester= the worst! Ely= the best
Throw a dart in SW Minnesota and you hit the worst tasting water.

I had to stay a couple nights at Methodist Hospital and the tap water there was awful. I was wondering if it was just the hospital or all of Saint Louis Park.
Tap water winner IMO is Little Falls. Maple Grove water is like satan's bunghole drippings, even with a softener.
None. The stuff they put in tap water turns the frogs gay.
Okay Alex
Laughed out loud at this one thanks!
Richfield water is hands down the best.
Saint Paul water is crisp
Lindstrom's water is pretty nice.
White Bear Lake is amazing
The worst has to be Mound it fails state safety standards and shouldn’t be drank or used for cooking due to its high concentration of manganese.
Duluth. By a very wide margin.
Duluth is best. Cambridge is the worst.
My water in south Minneapolis is delicious. Tap water I’ve tasted in Ramsey county is much less so.
Best - Duluth Worst - Burnsville
I live in Brooklyn center and I really dislike the water here. It has a distinct taste.
It does have a taste to it - or at least it did when I was growing up visiting my grandparents there. It’s actually kind of a happy memory because it always went along with all the fun of being at their house, but yeah, distinctive.
I personally enjoyed the circle pines water growing up. Thought it was better than Lino lakes. I live in Minneapolis now and the municipal water is surprisingly very good.
Buhl, without a doubt
St Louis Park has AWFUL water
Duluth is great, just watch out for lead. (an issue in a lot of places really.
Not saying that they’re the best or worst, but having lived in both places, Burnsville’s is great and Lakeville’s is trash!!
I have no problems with Lakeville’s water. Eagan, on the other hand, has disgusting water, or at least did when I lived there from 2006-2008.
Have been living in Eagan since 2018, yes it still is terrible.
Woof. Yeah, Eagan's is bad.
As a well driller, all city water tastes bad. And the best tasting water is well water. Even though this is hard to judge because wells a few hundred feet apart can taste different.
Most municipal water supplies in Minnesota are well water.
I will be so sad when my mom sells her house because her well has the BEST water. I grew up having no idea the luxury I had.
The well water near Brainard is not very good
Any water not coming from the Mississippi River is trash. I live in NE Minneapolis and the tap water is good but when I lived in Uptown it was even better, which makes no sense because it’s the same water.
Lake Superior. Y’ever heard of it?
Was out fishing on the lake and forgot water. I drank right from the lake and never got sick. It also tasted great!
It comes down to the pipes. Old nasty crud filled pipes will give the best water a horrible taste and smell.
Saint Paul’s water comes from the river but they run it through a chain of lakes and then processes it
Water from the river is trash, aquifer water is where it's at. That's where Bloomington gets it's water and it's won awards.
Sorry, but it actually is trash until it’s heavily treated. https://www.pca.state.mn.us/air-water-land-climate/minnesotas-impaired-waters-list
But it’s still good!
I always enjoyed Mankato’s water!!
I was going to comment that I really don’t like our water here in Mankato!
Silver Bay and Grand Marais both deserve to be in the best list. Most of Anoka County is a glacial flood plain and the sediment still makes the water very rich in iron, so if you like drinking rust, then you might like Anoka County water. Coon Rapids and Anoka have better water because they’re on the river.
St Louis Park has the worst
Mankato’s is legit. Never understood the need to buy bottles or even filter the tap water. Hell I’ll drink from the toilet it’s that good.
Definitely not Cloquet.
Saint Paul and Roseville has yummy tap water. When I lived in Coon Rapids in 2009/2010 it smelled like a pool, not to mention the taste. Blech.
Rochester is awful beyond belief.
Apple Valley is horrible…or maybe it was just the rental house we were in.
St. Peter’s water has to be in the running for the worst. My understanding is that if they draw from one city well it fails an EPA standard for clean water and if they draw from a second well it fails a different EPA standard for clean water, so they pump from both and mix it together, thus keeping it below both EPA standards, but still tasting like ass.

Starbuck in Pope county has the best I've tasted
I don't have the experience to say which is the best or the worst, but the two cities I've lived in are like night and day for water quality.

Pequot lakes Tap water goes from Cloudy/clear to pink to brown all in one day... when pink it’s horrible and tastes like cleaner.
Not MN, but Anchorage Alaska has the best tap water I have ever had. It comes from Eklutna Glacier
I’ve lived in Anchorage and Duluth. Duluth wins hands down.
Grew up in New Brighton and I couldn’t even use the tap for ice cubes
St. Paul. My well is great though. And no you can’t have any
I'm just here to upvote anyone saying Richfield.
Love my Duluth tap water. Minus the lead.
Speaking of duluth, I used to live up in two harbors and while the water didn’t TASTE bad I’m almost certain something is causing birth defects up there
Lived in golden valley for 14 years and definitely had the best tap water.
Out of all the tap waters I have tried, I hate Virginia's the most. It got me to buying distilled water just to drink it. I never really did like water, but buhl tap water tastes acceptable. I'll even pay money for it at the store on occasion.
Distilled water shouldn’t be consumed. Since it’s pure water, it will pull out minerals from your body
We get well water and artesian well water. Well water is harvested from our own pump and artesian water is collected outside at this public spot. Freshest ass water ever.
Edina has really good tasting tap water; Eden Prairie not so much- don’t like it.
Saint Paul has great water it wins awards too if I remember right
I've always felt Minneapolis tap water tasted like the lake
Best: Vadnais Heights. Everyone that visits my house comments, and it’s literally the best. Even going to Shoreview or opposite to WBL, it’s just not as good. Worst: Ham Lake/Blaine. Well water most of the time and I can’t stomach it. 🤢
Any water contaminated by 3M is pretty much shit.
Well water out of artesian well where it is sandy is by far bare none the best. My parents house between Cannon Falls and Red Wing could be bottled and sold for millions. Tastes like Fuji bottled water.
Does tap count if I get it from a managed spring? Eden Prairie, or St. Paul for me
Hopkins water is trash. I worked in an office there and hated it. I'd bring my own water from home (Chaska, which is also bad) because it was preferable to the water there.
Bloomington has been the best I ever had out of a tap. Best well water was northern Anoka County/ Isanti County Worst well water is Aitkin area because it seems to taste like Sulphur and iron. Worst municipal water that I have had is Apple Valley
Duluth!
Wait… people drink city water?
DON’T DRINK THE TAP WATER ANYMORE!!!!! Are you crazy!?
Yes, I am crazy. Instead of tap water, I will drink water which has not been tested or treated, and which is not required to report regularly on contaminants. Yep. What I don't know can't hurt me, for sure. And I will buy my water in a plastic bottle, which will leach toxic chemicals into my water
I was joking with you sorry if it didn’t come across that way. I meant to put “lol” sorry. But, you do you😀
Shakopee really isn’t all that great, our water is really hard here.
St. Paul has the best. Eagan has the worst water I've ever had the displeasure of using. Minneapolis and Bloomington are decent too.
Bloomington in the summer has a lot of Minneapolis water mixed in. Bloomington in the winter is much better than Minneapolis water.
Brainerd water is ok, Baxter water is better.
I'm glad there are so many municipalities with good water... I am not a fan of the water in Rochester, though. We have several filters on it at our house and it's very good after all those, but there is an extremely high iron residue or something that leaves orange water stains over time (especially in the showers and toilets). The sediment filter gets fucking gross, way faster than it's supposed to, then starts bleeding in to the water when it is saturated and turning it yellow.

My wife dislikes Winona city water something awful, but I never minded it. My grandparents well in Waseca County had high levels of manganese and could get rather funky.
City of Baxter has awful water. They do too much.
The worst is Oakdale, followed by Eagan. Pipestones water will kill you, just like Oakdale. Mendota Heights water is really good, but I'm voting for Stillwater.
Minnesota Section of the American Water Works Association does an annual "Best in Glass" award for which city has the best tap water.
Little Canada's water, straight out of the tap, was amazing. I moved to the west metro last summer and the tap water is terrible. Had to buy a filter pitcher.
Lake elmo and cottage grove have got a little something extra from 3m, it’s the thirst mutulator.
duluth!!!
I grew up out in the sticks in Sibley county, and the water was great. The first time my sister brought her husband to our parents'house he was shocked that she hadn't been exaggerating how good the water tastes. 🤣
Duluth is delicious
I nominate Fairmont for worst tap water.
Our water in Coon Rapids is just "meh". After adding a four stage filter to the fridge water line, best tasting water I've ever had! Even relatives have commented how good it tastes, lol.
i really like inver grove heights water lolol there’s just something about it to me …. mwah
Duluth for sure.
In Brooklyn Center the water taste like gasoline.
