Water Supply Plans

All public water suppliers in Minnesota that operate a public water distribution system and serve more than 1,000 people and all cities in the seven-county metropolitan area must submit a water supply plan to the DNR for approval every 10 years.

The DNR is preparing instructions for the next generation of water supply plans. Suppliers in the seven-county metro will submit their plans between 2026-2028. Other public water suppliers will be asked to submit plans as they request permit amendments or after 2027.
