[0:34] Did you know the public works utilities [0:36] division provides approximately 2.5 [0:39] billion gallons of drinking water to [0:41] Apple Valley residents each year? To [0:43] ensure that residents are receiving [0:45] safe, highquality water, samples are [0:47] collected each month from various [0:49] locations throughout the community and [0:51] are submitted for stringent water [0:52] quality testing. The results of these [0:55] tests are then published annually in the [0:57] public works water quality report. [0:59] According to the 2025 report, which [1:01] analyzes data from January 1st to [1:04] December 31st of 2024, the city's [1:07] drinking water continues to meet the [1:08] standards set by the Minnesota [1:10] Department of Health. Residents can view [1:12] this report on the city's website or [1:14] request a paper copy by calling public [1:16] works at 952-9532400.
