Contamination score

Higher = more contaminated vs. other cities.

Adrian is among a group of Minnesota cities that have received state and federal funding to install nitrate filtration for their municipal water supply after elevated nitrate levels linked to agricultural fertilizer runoff were found in local groundwater. In November 2023 the EPA determined further action was needed statewide to protect drinking water from nitrate contamination tied to farm pollution, part of the broader pattern documented across Minnesota's row-crop regions.
