Its management is messy, complex, and far-reaching. In 2022, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) announced that it would be developing a statewide drinking water plan to guide the management of drinking water over the next ten years. To inform the development of that plan, MDH also chose to conduct an assessment of the current governance of systems impacting drinking water in order to identify challenges and opportunities in the systems themselves which the statewide plan could address. This report summarizes the input received from focus group conversations and a survey with drinking water professionals based on an established set of criteria known as the Governance Assessment Framework.
