Gross Alpha Public Notice
06/02/2025

 

PUBLIC NOTICE

Important information about your drinking water

Pervious tests show levels of gross alpha above drinking water standards

Lexington public water system routinely monitors for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Previous testing results show that the average level of gross alpha was above the standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 15.4 pCi/L. An MCL violation was issued for this system on 10/24/2019. Testing will continue until the violation is resolved. We are currently within approved levels.

Gross alpha occurs naturally within the ground water. Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as alpha radiation. Some people who drink water containing alpha emitters in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer.

This is not an emergency. You do not need an alternative source of water such as bottled water. However, if you have specific health concerns consult your doctor. Home water treatment units are available to reduce gross alpha, which include water softening, reverse osmosis, and distillation. It is recommended that these home water treatment units be certified to ensure gross alpha removal. The use of carbon filters is not recommended for removal of gross alpha, as gross alpha may accumulate in the filter over time.

Your public water supply is exploring methods to reduce the level of gross alpha, which includes an alternative water source and water treatment.

Where Do You Live
04/30/2025

 

Do you live in Lexington or Circle Pines? This is a question that comes up all the time. When our town was originally founded we did not have a post office nearby and were part of New Brighton's delivery area. Eventually the post office in Circle Pines was built and took over delivery for the 55014 zip code. 

Lexington shares this zip code so by default we show up on their mail system as Circle Pines. This then transfers to other documents such as mortgage paperwork, drivers licenses, hunting licenses etc. 

To make sure our identity as a separate city from those surrounding us we want to encourage everyone to make sure Lexington is listed as your city on Drivers Licenses, Official Paperwork, Bills you receive (just ask they can fix it)

Lets Keep our Small Town Pride!!

If you live on one of these Streets ~ You are from Lexington
