Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

In 1996, Congress amended the Safe Drinking Water Act. This legislation added a provision requiring all community water systems deliver to their customers a brief Annual Water Quality Report. INORGANIC CONTAMINANTS

The Village of Cass City is pleased to provide you with this year’s Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. We want to keep you informed about the water quality and services we have delivered to you over the past year. Our goal is, and always has been, to provide a safe and de- Contaminant Date of Most Highest Level Range Violation MCL MCLG Likely Source of pendable supply of drinking water. The Village of Cass City obtains its water from three different municipal wells. All three wells are located in the Village Park, at the east end of town. Wells No. 1 and No. 2, located just east of the tennis courts, were installed in 1946. They are 290 Recent Detected in our detected in Yes/No Contamination feet and 240 feet deep respectively. Well No. 3 is located on the west side of the volleyball courts. Well No. 3 was installed in 1998 and extends Testing Water our water to a depth of 311 feet. All three municipal wells are drilled into the bedrock of the Michigan Formation. The Village now has the capacity to pump 1,656,000 gallons of water per day. .12 ppm Erosion of natural Barium 1-27-03 .18 ppm to No 2 ppm 2ppm deposits In 2007 the Village of Cass City constructed an arsenic removal plant. On January 23, 2006 the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) lowered the MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) for arsenic from 50 ppb to 10ppb. The Village of Cass City did not meet the new Arsenic standard. .18 ppm On April 18, 2007 the Village started supplying water that exceeds the new standard of 10ppb. The arsenic was reduced from a high of 29ppb .57 ppm Erosion of natural to under 5ppb. Fluoride 10-1-08 .75 ppm to No 4 ppm 4 ppm deposits; water The State of Michigan has produced a Source Water Assessment for each of the Village’s wells. This Assessment reports the susceptibility of .76 ppm additive which our water supply sources to contamination. The susceptibility score is broken down into 7 categories. Very Low, Low, Moderately Low, Mod- erate, Moderately High, High, or Very High. The score, given by the State, for all three of the Village wells, is Moderately High. The suscep- promotes strong teeth tibility rating is based primarily on geologic sensitivity, water chemistry and contaminant sources. The complete Source Water Assessment is available by contacting the Village office.

This report shows our water quality and what it means to you, our customers. ARSENIC Samples taken Quarterly from Arsenic Treatment Plant Tap If you have any questions concerning this report, or about your water, or your water utility please contact Gary Barnes, Monday thru Friday, 8:00 a.m. thru 3:30 p.m., 989-872-2911. The Village also has regularly scheduled Village Council Meetings the last Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Village Hall, 6506 Main Street, Cass City Michigan. The public is welcome at all meetings of the Village Council.

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 available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater /lead. Contaminants Regulated by The State of Michigan Radiological - Gross Alpha - Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as alpha radiation. Some people who drink water containing alpha emitters in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer.

RADIOLOGICAL CONTAMINANTS In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided Detected in Village Wells by public systems. The FDA regulates contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. Contaminant Date of Most Highest Range Violation MCL MCLG Likely Source of MCL’s (Maximum Contaminant Levels) are set at very stringent standards. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated contaminants, 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 Recent Level detected in Yes/No Contamination experiencing the described health effect.
