Contamination score

Higher = more contaminated vs. other cities.

No documented contamination incident specific to Adair was found. Iowa is a well-established agricultural nitrate hotspot — about 18% of the state's rural private wells exceed the nitrate health advisory level, and state nitrate-related drinking-water violations more than doubled in 2025 versus 2024 — so this small farm-country town carries an elevated regional baseline even without a local finding.
