Environmental Public Health Tracking: Water Data
Drinking water can come from a variety of sources, including public water supplies or private wells. We collect data on public water quality in Wisconsin, where most people get their drinking water. Good drinking water quality is important for disease prevention.

Frequently asked questions
About two-thirds of Wisconsinites drink water from public water supplies. In these cases, water comes from either a surface or a
A public water system gets water to a community through municipal pipes. Public water systems must have at least 15 connections or serve at least 25 people daily. Water systems meeting this definition year-round are known as “community water systems.” Wisconsin Tracking provides data about community water systems on our public data portal. More information can be found on the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
Private water wells are those that are owned by individuals, rather than the state or a city, and are connected to their home and property. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has rules in
Wisconsin Tracking is working to improve private well water testing and link people to data on this topic. Wisconsin Tracking partnered with the Center for Watershed Science at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point to develop a mapping
The state government protects water quality in Wisconsin through a number of laws and regulations. Wisconsin Tracking and organizations such as the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) work to improve and protect Wisconsin’s water quality.

Take a look at this web page that focuses on safe drinking water.
Drinking water can become unsafe by natural sources, such as bedrock, or from human-made sources, such as chemicals, fertilizers, or old plumbing. Water can become unsafe at the source (wells, reservoirs, lakes, or rivers), or problems might occur during water processing (like problems in a water treatment system).
People can come in contact with harmful chemicals and bacteria through drinking water in many ways. They can drink bad water, eat foods made with bad water, breathe in polluted water droplets while showering, or even absorb these harmful chemicals through their skin while bathing.
Coming in contact with a high level of a harmful chemicals or bacteria can make you sick. The type of illness and how sick you become depends on what the chemical or bacterium is and how much you came in contact with. It can also depend on your age, genetics, and medical history. Some symptoms of coming in contact with unsafe water quality include diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, and eye/nose irritation.
We host data from the Public Drinking Water
Our data helps us and the public understand drinking water issues. Data for the following chemicals are included on our public data portal:
- Nitrate
- Arsenic
- Disinfectant by-products
- Total trihalomethanes (Chloroform, Bromoform, Bromodichloromethane, and Dibromochloromethane)
- Haloacetic Acids (Monochloroacetic acid, Dichloroacetic acid, Trichloroacetic acid, Monobromoacetic acid, and Dibromoacetic acid)
- Atrazine
- Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
- Radium
- Tetrachloroethene (PCE)
- Trichloroethene (TCE)
- Uranium
For each chemical listed above, there are four measures:
- Number of community water systems by maximum concentrations
- Number of community water systems by mean concentrations
- Number of people served by community water systems by maximum concentration
- Number of people served by community water systems by mean concentrations
To learn more about these chemicals, visit the Environmental Contaminants in Drinking Water section of the Water Issues page.
- For counties surrounding Milwaukee County that receive water from the Milwaukee system, their estimates of total population served by community water supplies will be low and estimates for Milwaukee will be high.
- The measures do not account for the variability in sampling patterns and number of repeated samples that may be taken from the same system.
- Concentrations in drinking water cannot be directly converted to exposure because water consumption varies between individual people.
- Data and information about contamination in drinking water from private wells or other unregulated sources of drinking water are not captured in these measures.
- A groundwater distribution system may draw water from multiple wells, and each well may have different concentrations of the contaminant. Compliance samples are taken at each entry point to the distribution system. In systems with separate wells that serve some branches or sections of the distribution system, the value calculated for the system would tend to underestimate the contaminant concentration for people served by wells with higher concentrations, and overestimate concentration values for people served by wells with lower concentrations.
- These numbers are estimates and are not the actual numbers of population served.

Water data details
Public water use
Number of people receiving water from community water systems
These data are from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) online public water query system. The DNR monitors the number of people receiving water from community water systems. A community water system is a public water system which supplies water to the same population year-round.
Arsenic
Number of community water systems by maximum concentrations (μg/L)
These data are from the DNR online public water query system. The DNR monitors for substances in accordance with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act standards. Drinking water concentrations are based on samples taken from public community water systems. A community water system is a public water system which supplies water to the same population year-round. A water sample is designated as "non-detect" when the laboratory analysis cannot detect the analyte being measured. In 2001, EPA reduced the regulatory drinking water Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for arsenic from 0.05 ppm to 0.01 ppm. The current MCL is also represented as 10 micrograms per liter (μg/L). These data illustrate the yearly distribution of the number of community water systems by maximum arsenic concentration in μg/L. Cut points are 0-5, >5-10, >10-20, >20-30, and >30 μg/L arsenic. Measures do not account for the variability in sampling, numbers of sampling repeats, and variability within systems. Concentrations in drinking water cannot be directly converted to exposure, because water consumption varies by climate, level of physical activity, and between people.
