The MDH is committed to improving the health of Minnesotans by getting more people to drink more water. Filtered water units, in the form of hydration stations, provide a healthy alternative to sugary drinks, especially in communities with limited access to health, affordable beverage choices. Properly certified hydration stations remove lead and other contaminants associated with plumbing materials. They also maintain optimal fluoride levels in drinking water. Fluoridated drinking water helps prevent tooth decay through direct tooth contact and childhood consumption during tooth formation.
