What to Know About Water and Plumbing in Long Lake

Long Lake runs its own small city water system. Here is what the city’s most recent drinking water report says, and what it means for your home.

Deep well water

Long Lake’s water comes from two wells, 448 to 475 feet deep, drawing from the Prairie du Chien-Jordan and Jordan aquifers.

Treatment and hardness

The report lists chlorine and fluoride as the additives the city uses. It does not list softening, so most homes rely on a home water softener to protect water heaters, fixtures and plumbing from scale.

Service line inventory

As of October 16, 2024, the city reported 0 known lead service lines, 24 galvanized lines that need replacement, 124 non-lead lines and 599 lines of unknown material.

Lead and copper testing

In 2023 tap sampling, none of the 10 homes tested were above the action level for lead or copper.
