Page A12 - Clare County Review/Marion Press - May 14, 2021 CITY OF CLARE MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM 2020 DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT

We are pleased to present to you this year’s Annual Quality Water Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the eff orts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Our water source comes from wells which draws from the City of Clare aquifer.

We are pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and state re- quirements.

If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Dale Clark at 386-2321. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly sched- uled meetings. They are held on the fi rst and third Monday evenings of each month, at 6:00 pm in the Commission Chambers at Clare City Hall, 202 West Fifth Street, Clare, Michigan. The City of Clare Municipal Water System routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The table below shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2020. As water travels over the land or underground, it can pick up substances or contaminants such as microbes, inorganic and organic chemicals, and radioactive substances. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to con- tain at least small amounts of some constituents. It is important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not necessarily pose a health risk. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water:

1. Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. 2. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff , industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. 3. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff , and residential uses. 4. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also, come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff , and septic systems. 5. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In the following table, you will fi nd many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we’ve provided the following defi nitions: Average (Avg) – A running average of all samples collected during the reporting period. Maximum (Max) – The maximum value of all samples used to calculate the Average. This is the upper part of the range of sample values. Minimum (Min) – The minimum value of all samples used to calculate the Average. This is the lower part of the range of sample values. Non-Detects (ND) – laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) – one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter – one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. Action Level (AL) – The concentration of a contaminant, which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements, which a water system must follow. Treatment Technique (TT) – A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) – The “Maximum Allowed” is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL’s are set as close to the MCLG’s as feasi- ble using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) – The “Goal” is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLG’s allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) – The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) – The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known of expected risk to health. MRDLG’s do not refl ect the benefi ts of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contami- nation by substances that are naturally occurring or manmade. These substances can be microbes, inorganic or organic chem- icals and radioactive substances. All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contam- inants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health eff ects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. MCL’s are set at very stringent levels. To understand the pos- sible health eff ects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health eff ect. * If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Infants and children who drink water containing lead could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Chil- dren could show slight defi cits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink this water over many years could de- velop kidney problems or high blood pressure. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The City of Clare is re- sponsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by fl ushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you have a lead service line it is recommended that you run your water for at least 5 minutes to fl ush water from both your home plumbing and the lead service line. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is avail- able from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or at http://water.epa.gov/drink/lead. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-com- promised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). The MDEQ and EPA performed additional analysis in 2002 under the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) for the presence of 2,4-Dinitrotoluene, 2,6-Dinitrotoluene, 4-4’-DDE, Acetochlor, DCPA di/mono acid degradate, EPTC, Molinate, MTBE, Nitrobenzene, Perchlorate and Terbacil. All compounds were not detected (ND). The hardness of the City’s water supply averaged 412 mg/L or 24.1 grains per gallon. Please call our offi ce if you have questions or wish a copy of this report, source water assessment, wellhead protection plan and/or UCMR results. Copies of this report results will also be made available at the Clare City Hall and the internet. The staff of the City of Clare work very hard each and every day of the year to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future. Please contact our offi ce for any information on how to protect our water resources. Dale Clark Director of Water Treatment 989-386-2321 [email protected]
