White Bear Lake is one of 93 community water systems in Minnesota in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 25,634 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 2 entries in 2013, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2013.
All 2 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 Total Coliform Rules and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
