Welcome to Olmsted County, MN

Private well users in Southeast Minnesota can now receive free water testing kits and analysis through the TAP-IN Safe Drinking Water Program. If test results show contaminates in the water, homeowners and renters can apply for funding assistance to remediate the issue.

Olmsted County and our partner agencies are monitoring the winter storm and blizzard warnings in effect Tuesday, March 4 through Wednesday, March 5, 2025. The storm is expected to bring significant snowfall, strong winds, and possible whiteout conditions.
