The department contracts with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to conduct transient non-community water inspections for 15 counties in North Iowa. The inspections are conducted to ensure the drinking water is safe at facilities where the public may have exposure to the water. The places that may be inspected include restaurants and other businesses, parks, churches and other public use establishments that are not hooked up to a community water supply.

During inspection inspectors check facility records, well equipment, distribution systems, maintenance and design and possible contamination sources that may affect the safety of the water supply.
