Minneapolis, Minnesota

Mississippi River water treated by Minneapolis Public Works. Open the city’s plant-effluent analysis and CCR for the year’s hardness and residual. This file does not copy a dealer blog.

This city’s report did not print a number we can put on the chart. Open the current water-quality report. We do not invent a value.

On the report

Water utility
City of Minneapolis Public Works — Water Treatment & Distribution
Hardness
Printed on the city’s yearly plant-effluent water analysis, not invented here. Open that PDF for the year you care about. — Minneapolis plant effluent water analysis
Disinfectant
The city publishes chloramine / disinfectant residuals on the same plant-effluent tables and the annual CCR. Open the current file. — Minneapolis water quality reports
Brine / salt to the sewer
No district prohibition found in current research. No Minneapolis or Met Council sewer ban like Measure S turned up. Ask the wastewater utility on the bill.

Also around here

Extra context besides the utility report and the chart above — geology, an unregulated table, or a published study. Not a second set of printed tap numbers.

What actually fits

Some links are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission. That does not change the match, and it is not a medical claim.

If a dealer is selling hardness equipment

Two tall mineral tanks and a black brine tank of a salt-based water softener, plumbed with copper pipe in a garage.
Salt-based softener: two mineral tanks and a brine tank.
A single tall tank with no brine tank, installed in a laundry alcove next to a washing machine.
Salt-free conditioner: one tank, no salt bin.

Open the current CCR for grains. This file does not invent a number from a ranking site. A salt softener needs a drain if it is legal at the address.

If the water tastes like the plant’s disinfectant

A single black whole-house carbon tank with a control head, installed in a garage and connected to copper pipe.
Whole-house carbon tank. No brine tank.

Open the CCR for chlorine vs chloramine, then match that claim. A 42 chlorine listing is not chloramine.

If you are shopping a PFAS listing for the kitchen

Under-sink reverse osmosis system with a white storage tank, filter canisters, and colored tubing in a kitchen cabinet.
Under-sink reverse osmosis: filters, tank, and a second faucet.

The under-sink RO we actually run is Cloud RO — NSF/ANSI 58, kitchen tap, not a whole-house tank. Check the exact listing if PFAS is why you are shopping. Waterdrop is a tankless option if you want that path. A certifier-listed pitcher is the cheap first step. Nobody is paying for a medical claim.

If you have not tested the tap

A homeowner kit is a start. It is not a state-certified lab. Use a certified lab when the decision is expensive.
