Alexandria is one of 93 community water systems in Minnesota in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 15,000 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 2012 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.
All 3 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Lead and Copper Rule and the Total Coliform Rules.
