City of Plainwell, Michigan 2015 WATER QUALITY REPORT 2015 Water Quality Report

The Plainwell Department of Public Works is pleased to provide you with this year's annual Water Quality Report. This report presents information about drinking water in general and Plainwell’s water system in particular. Untreated water contains impurities that are naturally occurring or manmade. As water travels overland or underground, it can pick up substances such as microbes, inorganic and organic chemicals, and radioactive substances. Microbial contaminants such as viruses and bacteria may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants such as salts and metals can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. Pesticides and herbicides may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants including synthetic and volatile organic compounds are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production and can also come from gas stations, chemical spills, urban storm water runoff and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants can occur naturally or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

The City of Plainwell uses water obtained from wells. The City has two high capacity and one lower capacity well that draw ground water from an aquifer underlying the city. We drive these wells with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to maintain a more even water pressure and to reduce distribution system damage from water hammer when wells are starting and stopping. The water from these wells is relatively pure as it comes from the ground. As the water is pumped from the ground, fluoride is added to aid in the prevention of tooth decay, and chlorine is added as a disinfectant to destroy pathogenic organisms that can be harmful to your health. The clean water is then pumped into the distribution system. Our public works staff monitors our water supply, pumping and treatment processes, and our distribution system, and collects and tests water samples from the system each day. These tests ensure that proper chemical levels are maintained and that the water remains free of unwanted contaminants. The water we produce meets or exceeds all State and Federal requirements and our Water Department had no violations in 2015. Plainwell updated its Wellhead Protection Program in 2012. This work included evaluating current and future well sites, identifying existing and potential sources of contamination, and developing methods to minimize threats to both developed and future well supplies. We strive to protect our groundwater from the potential of contamination. We ask that everyone help us protect our water sources. If you see questionable activity at or near a manhole, a well house, or anywhere that may impact groundwater, please notify Public Safety at 685-9858 or call 911. The susceptibility to contamination for Plainwell’s operating well fields was determined by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) in 2015. Susceptibility is rated on a six-tier scale from “Very Low” to “Very High” based on geologic sensitivity, water chemistry, and current or potential contaminant sources. According to the DEQ, our wells were rated “High” in susceptibility. To obtain information on the report, contact Plainwell Department of Public Works at 685-9363 or email rupdike@plainwell.org.

Interpreting the Data in the Attached Table

All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may reasonably be expected to contain some impurities. The presence of impurities does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) follows regulations developed by the Federal Government’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The EPA and CDC have established, and MDEQ enforces, a set of Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) to protect public health. MCLs are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated elements, a person would have to drink two 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 effect. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immune-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, persons with HIV, AIDS or other immune system disorders, the elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care providers about drinking water. 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). If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components in service lines and building plumbing. Plainwell is responsible to provide high quality drinking water, but cannot we control the variety of materials used in your private plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30-seconds to 2minutes before using the water for drinking or cooking. 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 www.epa.gov/safewater/lead We make improvements to supply safe, dependable water to our customers and these improvements may result in rate adjustments. Thank you for understanding this and for trusting us to provide your family with clean, quality water. As required, we monitor for potential contaminants in the water supply to meet all regulatory requirements. The attached table shows that our system had no violations. Some substances were detected but the EPA has determined that your water is safe at these levels. The 2015 Water Quality Report will not be mailed except by request. Copies are available from Public Works or City Hall during normal business hours, and on the city web site at www.plainwell.org/reports. You may request a copy by email from Public Works at rupdike@plainwell.org. Plainwell 2015 Water Quality Data This table shows the results of our monitoring for regulated substances during the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2015.

Action Level (AL) – the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - Highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) - 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 residual disinfectant level (MRDL) - Highest level of disinfectant allowed in drinking water; there is convincing evidence that use of a disinfectant is necessary to control microbials. Maximum residual disinfectant level goal (MRGDL) - Level of 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. Non-Detects (ND) – laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.

revdminor@att.net _____________________________________ “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?� – Matthew 27:22

Over the centuries many Christians have recited the well-known creed which includes the following words: â€œâ€Ś suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried.â€? Let’s take a closer look. The scene is Jesus standing before Pilate in the courtyard of Jerusalem. Pilate must make a decision for or against Jesus as history stands in the balance. It is a decision all of us must make. What shall we do with Jesus? Jesus said, “He who is not with me is against meâ€? (Matthew 12:30). In his later years, John the apostle wrote, “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son does not have lifeâ€? (I John 5:11, 12). It is a colossal study in contrasts. On the one hand, Pilate represents earthly wealth, power and position. On the other hand, Jesus belongs to a different kingdom (John 18:36). Pilate is indecisive, vacillating and weak trying to pass responsibility for sentencing on to others. Jesus is strong, serene and calm. Jesus is in control of his destiny. Pilate cannot make a decision. C.S. Lewis, the renowned Oxford and Cambridge professor, famously said: “You must make your choice. Either this man was and is the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him, and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.â€?

Dear Jim – This would have been our – 62nd Anniversary 3-15-1954 to 3-15-2016 Should you go ďŹ rst and I remain to walk the road alone, I'll live in memory's garden, dear, with happy days we've known. In spring I'll wait for roses red, when faded, lilacs blue. In early fall when brown leaves fall, I'll catch a glimpse of you. Should you go ďŹ rst and I remain, for battles to be fought, each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot. I'll hear your voice; I'll see you smile. Tho blindly I may grope, the memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope. Should you go ďŹ rst and I remain, one thing I'll have you do, walk slowly down that long, long path for soon I'll follow you. I want to know each step you take, so I may take the same. For someday down that lonely road, you'll hear me call your name. (Author Unknown)

I’ll love you forever and always, Joyce
