Quick actions for Edina residents
Top concerns in this water
Based on the most recent EPA and EWG data, these are the most significant water quality issues for Edina.
PFAS contamination
Severe concernPerfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) detected. PFAS are persistent chemicals linked to cancer and immune effects with no known safe exposure threshold.
Perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHXS) significantly above health guideline
Moderate concernPerfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHXS) detected at 0.459 ppt, 459x above the EWG health guideline of 0.001 ppt.
Radium, combined (-226 and -228) significantly above health guideline
Moderate concernRadium, combined (-226 and -228) detected at 3.08 pCi/L, 62x above the EWG health guideline of 0.05 pCi/L.
Haloacetic acids (HAA9) significantly above health guideline
Moderate concernHaloacetic acids (HAA9) detected at 1.55 ppb, 26x above the EWG health guideline of 0.06 ppb.

Recommended water filters for Edina
Filters matched to the specific contaminants in this water supply.
Filter certified for PFOA/PFOS (NSF/ANSI 53 or 58)
$180-$750Reverse osmosis and some carbon block filters reduce PFAS. Look for certification to NSF/ANSI 53 or 58 for PFOA/PFOS.
Reverse osmosis certified for radium (NSF/ANSI 58)
$429-$750RO certified for radium 226/228 reduces it; ion-exchange water softeners also reduce radium.
Carbon filter certified for VOCs (NSF/ANSI 53)
$180-$599Activated carbon is effective for disinfection byproducts. Look for NSF/ANSI 53 VOC reduction.
