Don’t worry about drinking the water.
A new report says 96 percent of Wisconsin’s public water systems met all of the state’s health standards last year.
The state has more than 11,000 public water systems and the DNR said 3.6 percent of them had at least one violation.
Most often, it was some sort of bacterial contamination.
The second-biggest problem was too much arsenic.
Almost three-fourths of Wisconsinites get their water from public systems.
And the DNR said the high quality rate was impressive last year, considering all the floods that wreaked havoc on water systems in the southern part of the state.
