      Des Moines water quality throughout the years.

      Now
      Then

      Des Moines tap water today is safe to drink and cook with. The residents of Des Moines get their drinking water primarily from the Raccoon and Des Moines Rivers. Drinking water is also sourced from two other bodies of surface water—Crystal Lake and the Maffitt Reservoir. Des Moines water quality is overseen by the Des Moines Water Works, which operates three water treatment plants in central Iowa.

      All three plants use a multi-barrier approach for treating drinking water that includes source water monitoring, softening, filtration, and disinfection to ensure that the Des Moines water quality is up to standards. Water is distributed to homes and businesses in Des Moines through a system of 1,400 miles of underground pipes and pumping stations.

      Des Moines sources most of its water from surface water, which is highly susceptible to contamination or pollution in the local watersheds. Sources of contaminants that affect Des Moines water quality include agricultural activity, septic tank leaching, discharge from factories, and waste from metal drilling.

      The modern-day city of Des Moines began as a military fort, built where the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers merge. The fort fell out of use, but settlers began occupying the abandoned property and the surrounding areas because of the easy access to fresh surface water sources.

      The Des Moines Water Company was established in 1871 to monitor Des Moines water quality issues. In the early 1900s, a large number of typhoid deaths caused the city to conduct a study of the quality of water from the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers. It was found that the water contained pollution from sewage, human waste, septic tanks, and commercial shops.

      Frequently asked questions

      Is Des Moines tap water safe to drink?

      Tap water in Des Moines is safe to drink. Des Moines Water Works (DMWW), which provides drinking water for the city’s residential and commercial spaces, says all water meets or exceeds federal and state water quality standards. That includes ensuring all contaminants test at safe levels. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean the water tastes good.

      Those who are sensitive to certain flavors might want to consider an alternative to plain tap water. Bottleless water coolers filter tap water in real time. Advanced filtration removes contaminants, such as microplastics and lead, to improve your safety and deliver better-tasting H2O.

      Does Idaho have hard water?

      Idaho’s water hardness levels differ from city to city, but the state’s water supply generally has average hardness. Water hardness levels in Des Moines range from 130-150 milligrams per liter (mg/L) depending on the treatment center.

      Hard water isn’t unsafe, but it may not taste great. You can use a water softener to prevent mineral buildup and a filtration system to ensure every sip of water tastes clean and delicious. There are even freestanding ice machines that filter water as it’s used to create icy cold cubes for your favorite beverages.

      Water you can trust. From experts you can trust.

      Over 120,000 companies, big and small, trust Culligan Quench for cleaner, safer, and great-tasting water.
