City of Jamestown Water Company

We're pleased to present this year's Annual Municipal Water Quality Report to our community. This document provides essential information about the clean, safe water we deliver to your home daily.

Our ongoing mission is to provide you with reliable, high-quality tap water. We continuously work to enhance our water treatment processes and protect our valuable water resources. Our commitment to ensuring water quality remains unwavering.

Our water is sourced from wells drawing groundwater from the Jamestown Aquifer that runs beneath the James River Valley in McElroy Park. We maintain a comprehensive wellhead protection plan available at our office that provides additional information, including potential contamination sources.

This report details our water quality and explains what the data means. It follows the format and contains language required by EPA regulations. If you have questions about this report or our water services, please contact Joe Rowell, Water Plant Superintendent (Acting) at 252-5131.

We value keeping our customers informed about their municipal water utility. The Jamestown Water Department operates under the direction of the City Engineer and the Jamestown City Council. To learn more, please attend our regularly scheduled council meetings held on the 1st Monday of each month at 5 PM at Jamestown City Hall.

For non-English speaking residents needing language assistance, please contact Joe Rowell at the number provided above.

Our public water system, in partnership with the North Dakota Department of Health, has completed the delineation and contaminant/land use inventory components of the North Dakota Source Water Protection Program. Based on this information, the North Dakota Department of Health has determined that our source water is moderately susceptible to potential contaminants.

The Jamestown Water Department requests that large-volume water users post copies of this CCR in visible locations or distribute them to tenants, residents, patients, students, and employees, ensuring that people who consume our water but don't receive a water bill can access information about our water system.

1. Where does City of Jamestown water come from?
   City of Jamestown supplies groundwater to Jamestown, North Dakota.
2. Does City of Jamestown test its tap water?
   Yes. Like every public water system, City of Jamestown 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.
3. How do I contact City of Jamestown?
   Call 701-252-5900 or visit 102 3rd Ave Se, Jamestown, ND 58401, or use the contact options on the utility’s website.
4. Does City of Jamestown 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.
5. Is City of Jamestown 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.
