Brainerd Public Utilities began chlorinating its water supply on August 11, 2023 following the guidelines put forth by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) for reducing contaminates. The MDH recommends chlorination continue until a residual of .2 free mg/l is detected throughout the BPU’s water distribution system.
Due to safety concerns, Brainerd Public Utilities will no longer be providing customers with non-fluoridated water at the Central Station location (August 11, 2023).
