Contamination score

Higher = more contaminated vs. other cities.

No current contamination incident or violation was found for Abercrombie's own drinking water, which historically ranks among the safest in the country per North Dakota state data. A privately commissioned study did flag a proposed large-scale dairy (CAFO) operation 1.4 miles from the Wild Rice River, sitting atop the same Wahpeton Buried Valley Aquifer that supplies Abercrombie's drinking water, as a serious future risk from manure-related nitrate, hormone, antibiotic, and pesticide runoff — a real but not-yet-realized risk rather than a documented current contamination event.
