Water Quality

The Manhattan campus receives its drinking water from the City of Manhattan. The city’s drinking water supply meets and exceeds all state and federal drinking water quality standards set forth by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), and the Clean Water Act.

Reports and analyses related to the testing of water quality and drinking water sources are available on the City of Manhattan Public Works Department website:

• 2022 Water Quality Report (PDF)
• 2021 Water Quality Report (PDF)
• 2020 Water Quality Report (PDF)

The bottom line is that the water that the city provides to you is safe and meets or exceeds all federal and state drinking water quality standards.
