Why is the JWC considering a new water system?
You’ve probably noticed that your water bills have increased quite a bit lately. These increases, totaling some 150% over the past six years, are primarily due to the increasing cost of treating Mississippi River water. Minneapolis is undertaking a $140 million treatment technology upgrade to remove contaminants from its water supply. Additional, unbudgeted improvements will likely be necessary to meet emerging federal drinking water standards. By comparison, groundwater is relatively cost-effective to treat. Groundwater, particularly that from well-protected, deep aquifers like the Prairie du Chien-Jordan, is not exposed to contaminants found in surface water sources like the Mississippi River. In order to continue to provide its customers the highest quality water most cost-effectively, a new system may need to be constructed. This investment will ensure a secure, reliable, and cost-effective supply for the future.
