Minneapolis water quality: then

The Dakota Sioux chose the land home to present-day Minneapolis due to the abundance of water. The city grew as different industrial operations recognized the opportunity to run their businesses using hydropower. In the early 19th century, Minneapolis was viewed as the lumber and flour milling capital of the world. As the city expanded industrial operations, it was necessary to establish a waterworks to monitor Minneapolis water quality. Minneapolis built the first waterworks in Minnesota in 1871 to meet the needs of the city’s growing population.

In the late 19th century, a typhoid epidemic was blamed on Minneapolis water quality. The US Army studied typhoid in the city and found that there was fecal matter in the Minneapolis tap water supply. The city wasn’t able to resolve its issue with bacteria until 1910 when it built a new sterilization plant.
