Xcel Water Leak at Monticello Plant

View All

We understand the notifications from Xcel Energy and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will be particularly concerning to our community.

The public water system operated by the City of Monticello has been unaffected by the leak at Xcel. The leak occurred outside of Monticello’s Wellhead Protection Area, the specific area surrounding our public water supply that contributes groundwater to municipal wells.

We encourage members of the public to use the resources and contact information provided by Xcel Energy for questions about the leak and the plant. City leaders will continue to participate in the process on behalf of the community and share information as it becomes available.
