What to Know About Water and Plumbing in Minneapolis

Minneapolis water is different from the well water in most west metro suburbs, and much of the city’s housing is older. Both affect your plumbing.

River water, softened at the plant

Minneapolis water comes from the Mississippi River. The city softens it at the plant, removing about 65,000 pounds of hardness a day, then filters it at its Fridley and Columbia Heights plants. Many Minneapolis homes don’t need a whole-house softener; test before you buy one.

Lead service line replacement

Minneapolis is replacing lead water service lines with state and federal funds at no cost to property owners, and the city contacts eligible owners before work begins. Minnesota’s goal is to replace all lead service lines by 2033.

Lead and copper testing

In 2024 tap sampling, the 90th percentile lead result was 2 ppb, well under the 15 ppb action level. Running cold water before drinking and using only cold water for cooking further reduces any risk.

Older homes, older pipes

Much of Minneapolis’ housing is older, and many of the homes we work on there were built before 1930. Galvanized water lines, cast-iron drains, old shut-off valves and aging gas connectors are common, so small leaks are worth fixing early.
