Clean, safe water isn’t just a convenience — it’s essential for your family’s health. Across Minnesota, communities are paying closer attention to water quality concerns, particularly related to PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). These man-made “forever chemicals” don’t break down in the environment and can accumulate in the human body over time, raising risks of health issues ranging from developmental effects to certain cancers.
For families in the North Metro — including Blaine, Anoka, Andover, and Champlin — recent water quality alerts highlight the importance of being proactive.
Local Water Quality Updates in the North Metro
Blaine/Anoka County: In June 2024, the Anoka County Union Herald reported that several municipal wells tested for PFAS exceeded the updated state health-based values set by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). While corrective actions and ongoing monitoring are in place, residents are encouraged to consider in-home filtration systems for an added layer of protection.

Champlin/Andover: According to an August 2024 update from Hometown Source, PFAS testing in Champlin’s water supply identified levels nearing advisory thresholds. Though still deemed safe under current state guidelines, officials acknowledged that stricter federal limits expected in 2025 may require system upgrades — again underscoring the role of household filtration as a safeguard.

Why a Whole-Home Water System Makes Sense
While city utilities work to address PFAS and other contaminants at the source, a professionally installed whole-home water system provides immediate and reliable protection. Benefits include:
PFAS Filtration: Advanced activated carbon and reverse osmosis systems can effectively reduce PFAS compounds in your tap water.
Healthier Living: A water softener plus filtration reduces chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities — protecting skin, hair, and appliances.
Peace of Mind: Ensure your family is drinking, bathing, and cooking with the cleanest water possible.
