PFAS Status in Inver Grove Heights

low severity · Per MDH documentation

Inver Grove Heights municipal water has detectable PFOA. The 2025 Consumer Confidence Report (PWSID MN1190014) shows PFOA at a highest single test result of 1.1 ppt with a range of 1.0 to 1.2 ppt, currently below the EPA's 2024 finalized MCL of 4.0 ppt but actively detected. IGH is in Dakota County rather than the documented Washington County 3M plume zone, but the detection means whole-home certified PFAS filtration is worth considering. Hardness per the city's published CCR is in the 20 to 22 grain per gallon range, approximately 370 ppm. The city specifically recommends private water softeners. System pressure averages 75 PSI at the main, on the high end of the typical safe range, so a pressure reducing valve check is worth considering in older homes.

Why Whole-Home Filtration in Inver Grove Heights

PFAS exposure does not just happen through drinking. It happens when you shower, bathe, do laundry, and run your dishwasher. In affected East Metro cities like Inver Grove Heights, whole-home certified GAC filtration is the only approach that addresses all routes of exposure.

Municipal treatment in Inver Grove Heights is bringing PFAS within current EPA limits, but EPA standards have tightened multiple times and continue to. Whole-home filtration adds protection that does not depend on shifting regulatory thresholds.

Standard pitcher filters, basic refrigerator filters, and water softeners do NOT remove PFAS. Only certified PFAS-rated GAC and reverse osmosis do. We install only certified systems.
