What shapes water heater trouble in Wyoming
Manganese in the city wells
The City of Wyoming says its three wells serve about 1,300 households, or 3,426 residents. The water meets Safe Drinking Water Act standards, but all three wells tested above the Minnesota Department of Health's 100 ppb manganese guideline for infants, and the average is 115 ppb. MDH's guideline is 300 ppb for households where everyone is over a year old. MDH recommends considering home water treatment or bottled water for drinking, cooking and infant formula, and the city is working with consultants and MDH on short- and long-term options to bring the levels down.
Manganese can also be in private wells, and the city encourages well owners to test every year.
Newer houses on gas
Census estimates put the median Wyoming home at 1993. About 5% were built before 1940 and about 27% since 2000. About 81% are detached houses, about 9% are mobile homes and about 13% of households rent. Gas heats about 79% of homes, electricity about 14% and propane about 7%.
