U.S. EPA prescribes regulations that limit the levels of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Federal Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water quality is important to our community and the region . The City of Ecorse and the GLWA are committed to meeting state and federal water quality standards including the Lead and Copper Rule. With the Great Lakes as our water source and proven treatment technologies, the GLWA consistently delivers safe drinking water to our community. Ecorse operates the system of water mains that carry this water to your home’s service line. This years Water Quality Report highlights the performance of GLWA and Ecorse water professionals in delivering some of the nation’s best drinking water. Water Quality Data The table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2019 calendar year. The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 through December 31, 2019. The State allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. All the data is representative of the water quality, but some are more than one year old. Terms and abbreviations used below: • Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. • Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. • 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 or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. • N/A: Not applicable • ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per liter • ppm: parts per million or milligrams per liter • pCi/l: picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity). • Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow. 2 2019 Inorganic Chemicals – Monitoring at the Plant Finished Water Tap Level Range of Year Violation Regulated Contaminant MCL MCLG Typical Source of Contaminant Detected Detection Sampled Yes/No Discharge of drilling wastes; Discharge of metal Barium (ppm) 2 2 .01 n/a 5-16-17 no refineries; Erosion of natural deposits Runoff from fertilizer use; Leaching from septic Nitrate (ppm) 10 10 .99 n/a 6-11-19 no tanks, sewage; Erosion of natural deposits Erosion of natural deposits; Water additive which Fluoride (ppm) 4 4 .74 n/a 6-11-19 no promotes strong teeth; Discharge from fertilizer and aluminum factories 2019 Disinfection By-Products – Monitoring in Distribution System, Stage 2 Disinfection By-Products Allowed Highest Range of Year Violation Regulated Contaminant MCLG Typical Source of Contaminant Level MCL LRAA Detection Sampled Yes/No TTHM Total 80 N/A 17 0.50-80 2019 no Byproduct of drinking water disinfection Trihalomethanes (ppb) HAA5 Haloacetic Acids 60 N/A 9.5 0.50-60 2019 no Byproduct of drinking water disinfection (ppb) 2019 Disinfectant Residuals – Monitoring in Distribution System by Treatment Plant Quarterly Allowed Highest Year Violation Regulated Contaminant MRDLG Range of Typical Source of Contaminant Level MCL RAA Sampled Yes/No Detection Jan-Dec Chlorine (ppm) 4 4 0.60 0.49-0.69 no Water additive used to control microbes 2019 2019 Turbidity – Monitored every 4 hours at Plant Finished Water Highest Single Measurement Lowest Monthly % of Samples Meeting Violation Yes/No Typical Source of Contaminant Cannot Exceed 1NTU Turbidity Limit of 0.3 NTU (minimum 95%) 0.18 NTU 100% no Soil Runoff Turbidity is the measure of the cloudiness of water.

  • War Council to Meet on the ‘FIFTEENTH of the MOON’; the Phases of the Moon Were Used As the Indians’ Way of Establishing Time
    THE PONTIAC COUNCIL & PONTIAC’S WAR* Historical background: 1763 *Variously referred to as Pontiac’s War, Pontiac’s Uprising, Pontiac’s Rebellion, or the Conspiracy of Pontiac. WHO: PONTIAC, or Obwandiyag (born ca. 1720 – April 20, 1769), was a Native American Ottawa war leader, remembered for his participation in the struggle against British occupation of the Great Lakes region that bears his name: Pontiac's War. Pontiac rose to great fame and importance during this war, and yet the documentary evidence of Pontiac's life is scanty. Much of what has been written about the chief has been based on tradition and speculation, and so depictions of him have varied greatly over the years. Beyond Pontiac himself, we turn to a literal cast of thousands on the 1763 stage: the CHIEFTAINS and WARRIORS of the Indian Nations of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions; the British SOLDIERS and OFFICERS who commanded and garrisoned the forts in the region; the British SETTLERS with the aim of moving westward from the crowded English/American colonies; the French HABITANTS who had lived in the region for generations; and the French & British TRADERS, all hoping to make their fortunes here. [For a list of important names see the last pages.] [portrait of Pontiac by John Mix Stanley, Detroit Historical Museum] Flag of New France 1760 Flag of Britain 1760 WHAT: It is said that Pontiac’s April 1763 COUNCIL on the ECORSE RIVER* was the largest Indian council attended by multiple Nations yet to meet in the western territory. Chiefs and warriors of the Great Lakes Nations were summoned together, and in a few weeks’ time over a dozen tribes would join the campaign.

Mr. Moran wrote the book for his children and their children, as he so charmingly states in his Introduction. He refused to believe with us, that the mass of new material concerning Detroit's past captured ·into his narrative made the book an important addition to the Americana of Detroit and Michigan. We argued, too, that his boy"s,eye view of Detroit in transition from a City of Homes, in his eighteen--eighties, into Industry's Metropolis when the century turned is the kind of source record from which future historians will gather their information. ""And, equally important, it is splendid reading for today,.,., we said. ""But, I"m a novice at writing," quoth J. Bell Moran. "Thank the Angels for that, if that" s what you are," we murmured right back at him. That we won our way is evident. You have the book before you.

  • Public Lighting Depa,Rtment Capital
    (J PUBLIC LIGHTING DEPA,RTMENT CAPITAL 0 u Public Lighting Department AGENCY MISSION The mission of the Public Lighting Department (PLD) is to support the Public Lighting Authority (PLA) as it maintains the upgraded street light system. PLD works with TMC Alliance and DTE Energy (DTE) to assure the safety of the general public and to provide reliable power to customers through the City's distribution system as the City assists with converting customers to DTE's system. On February 5, 2013, the PLA was created pursuant to Public Act 392 of 2012. The PLA is separate municipal authority with the mission to improve, modernize and maintain the street lighting infrastructure in the City of Detroit with brighter, more reliable, more energy efficient lights. It is a completely separate legal entity from the City of Detroit. In 2014, the PLA issued debt obligations of$185 million to fund street lighting improvements. Pursuant to Public Act 392 of 2012, Utility Users' taxes of $12.5 million annually will be utilized to repay this debt issue. Through an inter-local agreement, the City provides additional funds to the PLA to finance the operations and maintenance of the lighting system. On July 1, 2014 the City entered into the Energy Delivery Services Agreement (EDSA) with DTE to transition electric customers to DTE. The agreement stipulates the City will allow PLD customers to become DTE customers and that the City will exit the electric business over a five to seven year period. During this transition period, the City, through its contraccqr will operate and maintain the electric grid with DTE reimbursing the City and its contractor for all expenses related to the delivery of electrical power.
