Baxter Water Treatment Plant Startup
Effective April 25th 2022, the City of Baxter will once again begin producing water at the Baxter Water Treatment Plant. Reconstruction of the plant has been completed and all water testing samples meet the Minnesota Department of Health requirements for potable water.
The Baxter City Council would like to thank the City of Brainerd and Brainerd Public Utilities for their assistance through the reconstruction phase.
As the City of Baxter transitions to producing our own water you may notices some changes in your water chemistry which is due to the different treatment processes used by the two entities. To assist with condensing the timeframe in which the water chemistry change may be noticed, staff will coordinate spring hydrant flushing with the startup of the Water Treatment Plant.
If you have water chemistry questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Streets & Utilities Supervisor at 218-454-5116.
