Over the weekend, I took the family to the Minnesota State Fair. It's a great tradition my kids enjoy. We sampled Grandma's Cookies, visited the animals, wandered the exhibits, and enjoyed the rides on the Midway. It began to heat up in the afternoon, so we took out our bottles of water from our backpacks (we came prepared) and headed for a cool place. We came across a great exhibit on environmental issues including some great resources to consider regarding water sources in the state.
So often as Realtors, we enter "city water" or "well" on the MLS without considering the source. These links provided by the state offer some insight that goes beyond a shared well or a certain taste. It goes right to the core, and can provide meaningful information for both buyers and sellers. If you're licensed in Minnesota--check them out sometime, it may be that extra step ahead. If you sell in a different state, check with your local and state officials to discover sources near your areas of business. In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, water's always an issue:) Here's some sites to try:
