2020 State of Iowa Public Drinking Water Program Annual Compliance Report Available

7/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Under the 1996 reauthorized Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the State of Iowa is required to publish an annual report of the status of its public drinking water program.  The 2020 report is available electronically at the following address: http://www.iowadnr.gov/WS-Annual-Compliance-Report.
 
The report was compiled by the staff of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' Water Supply Engineering and Operations Sections, using data collected in 2020 from all active public water supplies in the state.  The report contains a summary of the program, a description of the requirements that systems must meet, the year’s violation statistics, and the list of the systems with each health-based standard or major monitoring or reporting violation incurred during the year.  
 
The photographs in the report are from Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund projects, primarily those that were completed during the year.  The maps depict the public water supply system universe in Iowa and the locations of the systems that incurred the health-based standards and major monitoring and reporting violations.  The maps are also separately listed on the website.
 
Nine months of 2020 was during the COVID-19 pandemic, which curtailed many activities but did not adversely affect the ability of Iowa systems to provide safe drinking water. 
 
Iowa had 1,848 active public water supply systems in 2020.  In 2020, 
  • 96.8% of Iowa's public water supply systems were in compliance with all health-based standards.
  • 98.9% of the population served by Iowa's public water supply systems was served water from systems in compliance with all health-based standards.
  • 83.8% of Iowa's public water supply systems met all major monitoring and reporting requirements.
  • 95.5% of the population served by Iowa's public water supply systems was served water from systems in compliance with all major monitoring and reporting requirements.
  • There were no waterborne diseases or deaths reported from Iowa PWS in 2020.
