You can feel comfortable about the water you drink in Door County and Kewaunee County knowing it meets the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources standards in its 2020 Annual Drinking Water Report that was recently published.
The 2020 report showed that more than 98% of Wisconsin’s public water systems meet all health-based drinking water standards. The routine inspecting and sample collecting process was able to be achieved despite the pandemic, which made it a challenge for water system personnel and DNR staff to collaborate. DNR Public Water Supply Inspection Chief Adam Deweese says it did bring some innovation.
The DNR awarded more than $93 million in financial assistance to 14 Wisconsin communities for repairs and improvements to their water systems, but none in Door or Kewaunee counties.
