Farmington, Missouri (January 30, 2026) - Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation. 

What happened? What is being done?

Well 7, located near the Farmington Water Park, has historically met the drinking water standard without treatment. Recently, however, Well 7 did not meet the standard, and a Notice of Violation was issued on September 3, 2025. The well was immediately taken out of service. Because the DNR sampling and notification process spanned two reporting periods, a second public notice is required. Well 7 remains offline at this time. The remaining thirteen wells in the system are in full compliance with the standard.

For more details see the PUBLIC NOTICE and WELL 7 MAP.
