KENOSHA, Wis. — The Kenosha Water Utility released its 2024 Consumer Confidence Report this week, confirming that the city’s drinking water continues to meet or exceed the most stringent state and federal safety standards.
Officials say Kenosha’s water quality is the result of rigorous oversight and modern treatment practices, with more than 10,000 individual tests conducted annually by the utility’s state-certified laboratory. Additional samples are sent to independent labs to comply with Wisconsin DNR and EPA regulations.
Printed copies of the report are available at local libraries, museums, and the Kenosha County Health Department. The full report can also be accessed online or requested by calling 262-653-4331.
“The responsibility of providing this essential service to the local community is something our organization and employees take very seriously,” said Water Utility General Manager Curt Czarnecki. “The 2024 Consumer Confidence Report helps illustrate that the dedicated efforts of our staff has again resulted in high quality drinking water that meets or exceeds all state and federal drinking water quality standards.”
Kenosha draws its drinking water from three active intakes in Lake Michigan, with two located at approximately 35 feet below the surface and one at five feet. Officials say the clean source, combined with real-time monitoring and advanced treatment technology, allows the utility to provide safe, fresh water every day.
In 2024, the utility expanded its sampling effort in response to changes in the Lead and Copper Rule. All 120 samples taken were well below EPA action levels. The city also remains in full compliance with both existing and proposed standards for PFAS, an emerging group of synthetic chemicals found in some household products.
The utility says this year’s report reaffirms what many residents already believe: Kenosha’s water is clean, safe, and among the best in the country.

Now let’s get the flouride out of the water.
Come for the streetcar, stay for the water.
Lake Michigan is a wonderful resource for safe drinking water, recreation, industry, and tourism. Our water treatment plant has state of the art treatment methods and the result is possibly the absolute best in our country. I truly do not understand why people living within the Kenosha’s water distribution network would want to spend money on bottled water.
You can drink all the shit water you want. Lake Michigan is super dirty, especially between Milwaukee and Shitcago. Fluoride is pure poison. Drink up.
I hope the trolley runs your stupid ass over.
Every time it rains they open the valves and raw sewage is dumped in ” beautiful lake Michigan “
I live in Pleasant Prairie and I hope the tapwater is good there. You never know what you’re getting in bottled water. Plus those bottles pollute our waterways. Lake Michigan is less than 1 mile from my home, and I pay over $100 a month for water. And that’s two people living in the home and I water my flowers in the summertime. $100 x the population of Pleasant Prairie and Kenosha it’s a lot of money every month! Completely outrageous!
Thankfully, we still have a well, but we still pay over 75.00 WITHOUT water in Pleasant Prairie. You pay 100.00 for JUST water or is the 100.00 the complete bill?
Buy a reverse osmosis water treatment system for your home with whirpool filters to remove the flouride, among other pollutants. Beats plastic bottle contaminated water every day. Very affordable on Amazon.
Keep you pineal glands decalcified Kenosha!
