The mission of Iowa DNR's Public Drinking Water Program is to protect and enhance the public health, safety and quality of life for all persons by ensuring the public drinking water is safe to drink. 

The state's water quality standards help ensure that all Iowans have surface waters that are fishable and swimmable to the fullest extent practicable and water resources that are put to their best beneficial uses.

Drinking water protection programs at the state and national levels play a critical role in ensuring high-quality drinking water and in protecting the public's health. This data contains information about the levels of several contaminants that can be found in drinking water.
