The City of Menomonie provides the following Sunday update regarding the water system:
As previously announced, the Precautionary Boil/Bottle Water Advisory was lifted for most of the City of Menomonie on Friday, July 17.
The Boil/Bottle Water Advisory for the municipal water system on Grand View Heights Court and Meadow Hill Drive (west of Wilson Creek), issued on Friday, July 17, has been lifted as of today (Sunday, July 19). The second and third tests both came back negative (which is good) for bacteria.
Therefore, all Boil/Bottle Water Advisories in the City of Menomonie have been lifted.
The City’s three water towers are approximately 80% full. It is expected that they will completely refill overnight tonight. Water pressures throughout the City are now within normal operating range.
The full lawn irrigation ban remains in effect until August 1, 2026. City crews have, and will continue to, provide written warnings to those who continue to irrigate lawns, although the number has tapered off as information has spread.
As a precaution, City crews remain on the lookout for possible leaks. The City’s water system includes about 100 miles of water main pipes that are buried about 8 feet below the surface. Leaks usually come to the surface quickly, but sandy soils found in some portions of the City could hide a smaller leak. If residents see flowing water in an odd location (e.g., not Galloway Creek), please contact the City.
The next update will be issued on Tuesday, July 21.
For continued updates as information becomes available, the City is sharing emergency communications through multiple official channels, including:
• The City of Menomonie's website and social media pages
• Local news media
• Dunn County Emergency Communications' CodeRED notification system
• The City of Menomonie's Notify Me notification system
Residents are encouraged to sign up for both free notification services to receive emergency alerts by phone, text, or email.
