The City of Bismarck would lke to notify its water customers that they will probably notice a change in the taste and appearance of their drinking water over the next several days.  This change is due to the large amounts of surface runoff water flowing into the Missouri River and the reduced discharges from Lake Sakakawea.

Bismarck’s drinking water treatment plant is fully operational and the water is being treated to meet all Safe Drinking Water Standards.  The water is safe to drink and use for all purposes.  This situation will continue until flows in the river return to normal conditions.
