In the spring of 2005, St. Cloud, St. Paul, and Minneapolis water suppliers each delineated their Source Water Protection Area. Each supplier formed a Source Water Protection Area Delineation Team, which included representatives from local government bodies, including watershed groups, and state agencies.
The teams met several times to review data files, maps, and other technical information that provided the basis for delineating the Source Water Protection Areas. Once the delineations were accomplished, the delineated areas were reviewed and approved by the St. Cloud City Council, the St. Paul Board of Water Commissioners, and the Minneapolis City Council.
The three areas form a contiguous area, the "Composite Source Water Protection Area". The boundaries of this area generally follow watershed and subwatershed boundaries of the Mississippi River main stem and tributaries to the Mississippi River, a distance on the Mississippi River of approximately 112 miles between Fridley and north of Little Falls.
