Does this page cover all of Des Moines?

It covers every category Fontavio has enough mapped places for in Des Moines today. A category appears here once enough places in it have been added and confirmed, so a missing one means thin coverage rather than nothing on the ground.

What if a place has moved or is gone?

Report it from the app. A person reviews it, and water-safety reports are looked at first.

Is the tap water safe to drink in the United States?

Yes, from a public water system, which is where 9 in 10 Americans get their tap water. WHO and UNICEF put safely managed drinking water in the US at 97.6% for 2024, and public systems have to meet the EPA's standards and tell customers if the water ever fails them. Figures, sources and the dates they were checked: https://fontavio.com/united-states/tap-water/

Is the water from a public tap or fountain the same as the tap water in the United States?

Not necessarily. A spigot at a trailhead, a rest area or a rural campground may be on a well, and some are marked non-potable. In older buildings, lead pipes can affect the water from a fountain. Read the sign and check the fountain before you drink. When you find a good one, add it to Fontavio or review it; it helps other drivers plan their stops on a long road trip.
