Our primary mission is to provide you with safe, dependable water. We want to share the efforts we make to continuously improve water quality and protect our valuable water resources.
We monitor your municipal water for specific contaminants on a regular schedule. Testing results help determine whether your water meets health standards. This report shows only those substances detected in your water, though we test for many more contaminants that were not found.
The public is welcome to participate in Board of Public Works meetings at 5:30 PM on the 1st Monday after the 1st and 3rd Tuesday monthly in City Hall Council Chambers. Meeting agendas are available on the city website.
Since 1996, Chippewa Falls has been recognized as a Groundwater Guardian Community. Our Groundwater Guardian activities focus on community groundwater protection through education, pollution prevention, public policy, conservation, and quality management practices. Contact the Utility Office to join our Groundwater Team or participate in activities.
Did you know? Our system includes 495,272 feet of water main serving 856 hydrants and 5,860 meters throughout the City. In 2017, we pumped 904,500,000 gallons to our four water towers. The East tower holds 1 million gallons, the West tower 750,000, and both the South and Southeast towers hold 500,000 gallons each.
Chippewa Falls relies exclusively on groundwater from wells for its municipal supply. These wells range from 53 to 97 feet deep, tapping into a sand and gravel aquifer. The West Well Field includes three wells located at 555 and 575 Tilton Road and 1821 Nelson Road. The East Well Field contains six wells at 1350 Pumphouse Road.

Chippewa Falls Waterworks Municipal Water Company and EPAWhere Does Our Water Come From?
Sources of tap water and bottled water include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over land or underground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances from animal or human activity.
Potential contaminants in source water include:
- Microbial contaminants such as viruses and bacteria from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural operations, and wildlife
- Inorganic contaminants including salts and metals that occur naturally or result from urban runoff, industrial discharges, oil/gas production, mining or farming
- Pesticides and herbicides from agriculture, urban runoff, and residential uses
- Organic chemical contaminants including synthetic and volatile compounds from industrial processes, petroleum production, gas stations, and septic systems
- Radioactive contaminants that occur naturally or result from oil/gas production and mining
To ensure tap water safety, EPA regulations limit certain contaminants in public water systems. FDA regulations establish similar limits for bottled water to provide equivalent public health protection.

Chippewa Falls Waterworks Municipal Water Company and CDC- Where does Chippewa Falls Waterworks water come from?
Chippewa Falls Waterworks supplies groundwater to Chippewa Falls Waterworks. - Does Chippewa Falls Waterworks test its tap water?
Yes. Like every public water system, Chippewa Falls Waterworks must test its water under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and publish an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report). Ask the utility for the latest report or look for it on its website. - How do I contact Chippewa Falls Waterworks?
Call 715-726-2741 or visit 30 W Central Street, Chippewa Falls, WI 54143, or use the contact options on the utility’s website. - Does Chippewa Falls Waterworks water contain lead?
Water usually leaves the treatment plant without lead. Lead can enter tap water from older service lines, solder and brass fixtures inside homes, especially when water sits in the pipes. Run the tap before drinking if water has been sitting, and ask the utility about lead testing and service line records. - Is Chippewa Falls Waterworks water hard?
Hardness depends on the source and changes over time. The annual water quality report lists hardness, or you can test it at home. If it is above about 7 grains per gallon, a water softener sized to your measured hardness will stop scale and spotting.
