Nonstop Local News Montana · last updated

MONTANA — A new analysis of federal data placed Montana near the bottom of the country for tap water cleanliness.

Experts at ProGuard reviewed the most recent Environmental Protection Agency data to compare states by reported water quality violations. The ranking was based on the number of violations for every 100,000 residents.

The analysis ranked Montana 49th in the United States. It found 6,565 violations per 100,000 residents in the state.

That was a wide gap from Hawaii, which ranked as the best state in the analysis. Hawaii had 156 violations per 100,000 residents.
