Is Iron in Your Drinking Water?

Both Minnesota and Wisconsin have iron-rich soil and sediments. Iron in soil and rocks seeps into water supplies over time. Iron can also get into a water supply from the corrosion of steel or iron pipes. The best way to know for sure if you have iron in your water is to get your free water score.

Is Iron in Water Safe to Drink?

Typically, small amounts of iron in your water do not pose any serious health risks. Iron is an essential nutrient that our bodies need to support healthy red blood cells. Iron only becomes an issue when your water contains high concentrations of this mineral, causing harmful bacteria to grow in your home’s water supply.

4 Signs of Iron in Water

Metallic Taste

Iron in water can significantly affect its flavor and scent, giving it a strong metallic taste. This can also affect the taste of foods and beverages prepared using water.

Rusty Color

The color of your drinking and tap water may change to yellow, orange, or red. This creates yellow, red, or brown stains on dishes, laundry, and other household appliances, too.

Damage to Appliances

When iron accumulates in your water supply, it can clog water-using appliances, including washing machines, dishwashers, and water softeners, leaving your machines less effective and efficient.

Presence of Bacteria

Some bacteria require the presence of iron to survive. Excess iron can cause bacterial growth and even form a sticky biofilm, making it difficult to treat any bacterial problems you may have.
