Lino Lakes extends its watering ban LINO LAKES — Effective immediately, residents are being asked to refrain from watering their lawns from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to keep manganese at appropriate levels.

Public Services Director Rick DeGardner and Utilities Supervisor Justin Williams presented three options at the City Council work session June 1.

“We continue to be concerned that the increased watering of lawns will result in an overall (higher) manganese level in our water supply,” DeGardner explained. “We are convinced that if things keep going the way they are going ... it is going to force us to turn on additional wells. In the past couple of days, we have had to turn on Well No. 3 to take care of demand, and with temperatures coming up into the 90s, the demand is going to continue to go up.”

The city was randomly selected to be tested

in October 2019 and was notified about its manganese levels in November 2019. The test results from MDH concluded that Well No. 3 contains 367 micrograms of manganese per liter of water (µg/L); Well No. 4 contains 82.7 µg/L. A safe level of manganese for an infant is 100µg/L. That level goes up to 300µg/L for children older than 1 and for adults.

The city then requested that its other wells be tested and determined all but one of its wells tested over the 100µg/L recommended for infants and three of them exceeded 300µg/L. In March, the council authorized a feasibility study that will look at the long-term solutions to lower manganese levels, including a water treatment facility. The results are expected to be presented at the council’s July work session, DeGardner said.

In the meantime, the city continues to implement short-term solutions. One of those solutions is trying to only utilize its wells

that have the lowest manganese levels. That has worked well so far, but now the city is seeing an increased demand as summer progresses. “Wells No. 4 and 5 have extremely low manganese (levels).

Those two wells are running 18-20 hours a day. If we were run into a problem with pumps at either of those sites we would really be in trouble (as far as manganese levels go),� DeGardner explained.

Option one is to request that residents reduce water demand by voluntarily agreeing to water their lawns a maximum of once per week. Option two is to expand the daily watering ban. Currently, the ban is in effect from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The ban would be extended by four hours earlier, in effect from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Option three is to enact a complete watering ban, with exceptions for the irrigation of new landscaping, sod or seed within 28 days of installation.

City staff recommends the second option. “We want to give people the opportunity to comply and come down. With that being said, every day there

We are growing, and every day a new home is getting sod in the summer,� Williams said. “If everyone complies, we can separate that irrigation time from that getting ready time in the morning.�

Williams added that from about 5 a.m. until 11 a.m. is when the city is seeing that dual usage for both irrigation and home demand, and that is when the city might have to start to rely on the use of other wells if demand continues to trend upward during the day. “We are on the brink here of seeing our testing levels increase, and that is going to show in our

The fi rst celebration of the U.S. Flag's birthday was held in 1877 on the 100th anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777. However, it is believed that the fi rst annual recognition of the flag's birthday dates back to 1885 when school teacher, B.J. Cigrand, fi rst organized a group of Wisconsin school children to observe June 14— the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes as the Flag's Birthday.

The efforts of another school teacher, George Balch, led to the formal observance of Flag Day on June 14 by the New York State Board of Education. Over the following years as many as 36 state and local governments began adopted the annual observance.

For over 30 years Flag Day remained a state and local celebration.

In 1916, the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 became a nationally observed event by a proclamation by President Woodrow Wilson. However, it was not designated as National Flag Day until Aug.3, 1949, when an Act of Congress designated June 14 of each year as National Flag Day

Board recognizes seniors’ ‘grace and fortitude’

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

The Centennial School board is doing all it can to ensure that the Class of 2020 feels celebrated and appreciated.

The school board was set to pass a resolution June 8, after press deadlines, that honors graduating seniors.

“The Centennial School Board is honoring the graduating Class of 2020 with the resolution,” said Superintendent Brian Dietz.

“We are proud of our seniors’ accomplishments and know that their grit, determination and resolve will be a springboard to their future success.”

School board Clerk Kathryn Timm was one of the driving forces behind the resolution. Initially she was thinking about writing a letter to the Quad Community Press but felt like a resolution would be a better way to make sure that it gets

“I am really proud of the service that I provide to the district by being on the school board. A lot of it is poring over a budget trying to make decisions that are best for our communities. To be honest, most of it is grunt work. A perk of the job is that we get to go to graduation. We get to go to academic awards, be the ones who hand out that diploma,” Timm said. “This year we didn’t get to do any of those things. There is no way that I can track down all of the kids who graduated from all three of our programs that have graduations and say, ‘Good job, we are proud of you and we know this was 13 years of effort.’”

The resolution reads in part, “Despite the difficulty presented by the pandemic and distance learning, the accompanying cancellation of all traditional school and extracurricular activities (such as spring sports,

Endersbe is the general manager of Running Aces Hotel and assumed the role of QACC board president Jan. 1.

He loves belly rubs and will respect your personal space when relaxing together. You can best win Mayo over with treats and car rides.

He even likes to sleep in on the weekends. If you are interested in Mayo, fill out an adoption application at ruffstartrescue.org.

Once your application is received, a placement coordinator will be in contact with you as soon as possible.

A Home Enhanced, located at 7095 Centerville Road, announced last week that it is closing its doors. A photo of a fence with a “store closing everything must go” sign was posted on the business’ Facebook page last week.

Owner Laurel McGinnity said, “With COVID-19, I am medically compromised and many vendors are as well. This sale has shown me how difficult and frustraitin git is to serve customers behind face masks and steamed eye glasses that do ot allow me to propertly connect with my lovely customers, to read their faces, emotions and to fully hear the words they share. I can not continue like this.”

A Home Enhanced will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday until all of the inventory (including sale fi xtures) are sold.

It continues, “The Centennial School Board recognizes that this graduating class has met those requirements with grace and fortitude in the face of extraordinary circumstances ... The Centennial School Board commends the graduating Class of 2020 on their achievement.”

Timm said the resolution is “just a little something” to let seniors know that the board is proud of them and the adversity they continue to overcome. She said, “It really is something to recognize this particular class and the adversity that they have had. We haven’t had this kind of adversity in my lifetime, and I am going to be 60 in a few months.”

Linda Runbeck will not run for re-election

State Rep. Linda Runbeck announced last week that she will be stepping down and will not run for re-election in the District 38A seat.

“This has been a difficult decision,” she stated, “but the day-in-day-out stamina needed to be a great representative is getting harder to maintain.

In fairness to all, I’ve decided the 2020 session will be my last.”

Runbeck has lived in Circle Pines for over 40 years. She was previously an advertising executive and served on the Circle Pines City Council for four years before embarking on a run for the legislature. At the conclusion of this term in December, she will have served 22 nonconsecutive years, 14 in the Minnesota House of Representatives and eight in the Minnesota Senate.

“Another big factor in stepping down is my husband, Rich, who simply said, ‘it’s time.’” Rich is Linda Runbeck also a former city councilor in Circle Pines.

Minnesota Nice?

CAN’T BREATHE, I can’t breathe, please help me!” These were the final words of George Floyd as his life was taken under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer. This incident was the cause of domestic terrorism in cities across the nation.

We have to ask ourselves, “Have we made any progress in race relation issues which are so deep rooted?” The fires and damage were caused here in Minnesota primarily by Minnesotans, with some outside influence. Looters exploited the damage to the stores. Several neighborhood businesses were destroyed in Minneapolis and St. Paul, which will now make for hardships for local shoppers without transportation. Minneapolis police are not trusted, and they need refined procedures in their conduct.

Even if the charges to the officer seemed premature, the county attorney and the mayor felt something needed to be done About the immediately. Racism is ugly, and we can’t fight for justice with injustice.

Town It is a sad day in Minnesota when have to live with unrest in place Gene Johnson we of empathy and love.

I understand why people are angry. Living in White Bear Lake for the past 50 years, we’ve experienced racial hatred toward our family. In 1970 we adopted our eldest son, Cameron, who is mixed race. Cameron and his wife, Michelle, live in White Bear Township. When he was growing up we received letters stating that he doesn’t belong in this community. At our church, a member confronted us that he didn’t belong there either. When Cameron goes into a store, he is often followed around by clerks, security and other customers. It upsets me that he continues to have these experiences based solely on the color of his skin. It’s unacceptable and needs to change.

LAST WEEK a police officer on an eviction notice call in Grand Forks, Minnesota was killed in the line of duty. It turned out to be the son-in-law of my nephew, Tim Christian and his wife, Sandy. Their daughter Mandy’s husband, Cody Holte, a 29-year-old police officer and leaves behind a 10-month-old son, Gunnar. Cody was the first police officer to be killed by gun fire in the line of duty in Grand Forks’ history.

Cody took three bullets of the 41 rounds fired from an AK-47. One other officer was also shot and is recovering.

WHILE THE MEMORIAL Day weekend had some inclement weather most people found a way to be outside on bikes, camping, golfing and boating.

This is the time of year for families to review safety practices for all outdoor activities. I met Bob Odom years ago through WBL Rotary. He told me that every time their family was made aware of an accident they talked about it at the dinner table and talked about how it could be avoided. They also stressed how some people seem more vulnerable than others. The Odoms have retired to Fernandina Beach, Florida.

THERE ARE MANY people and organizations that are working diligently to prevent COVID-19 from spreading and helping those who are recovering.

There are many who are out of work. The pandemic has caused thousands to be unemployed, businesses filing bankruptcy, and the depletion of household budgets. The heroes are the moms and dads who are doing home schooling and the teachers who are preparing lessons online. We tip our hats to the first responders and all the people in the medical facilities who work tirelessly to meet the needs of those infected.

Through this experience, and we don’t know how long it will last, people are becoming friendlier to one another. I’ve seen tables with free items in front of homes to anyone who can use them. People are finding new ways to help their neighbors and others.

They are also finding ways to expand the food budget by buying in bulk and learning and trying new recipes.

I fell in love with dairy

any of you do not know much about me. You probably know I live in a small town in Wisconsin, I have four kids, and I really like food.

I grew up in a Minneapolis suburb. I loved the outdoors and fantasized about living like Laura Ingalls Wilder when I grew up. As a teen, I lived up to the “Wilder” dream of my childhood idol, attending concerts at First Avenue, dressing like Madonna, Wild and driving a Chow Corvette. I had a soft side, too.

Lisa Erickson I loved to camp and cooked gourmet meals with my best friend—we did everything together until she moved to France.

We’ve always stayed in touch, even though we went our separate ways. Though oceans apart, our discussions about food grew in-depth and knowledge.

Dairy kept coming up as our main topic of interest.

Later, my time on the UW System Board of Regents and the Wisconsin Technical College Board opened my eyes to how integral and interwoven dairy is to Wisconsin. I learned how Wisconsin became the dairy state, about Babcock, how researchers in Madison discovered warfarin, and so

much more related to dairy.

Eventually, we started doing research, which resulted in a book about dairy and cheese in Wisconsin. The depth of tradition, love, and passion in dairy knocked my socks off. I wanted to be part of that passion.

In early 2019, after we finished our book, I accepted a job with Crystal Ball Farms Dairy as the dairy plant manager. I couldn’t be happier. I am part of carrying on the tradition of dairy in Wisconsin and the nation.

June is dairy month. Join me in celebrating dairy and supporting dairy farms.

Dairy Good Cake 2 cups flour 1 ½ tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder 4 eggs, room temperature 2 cups sugar 1 Tbsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp almond extract 1 cup whole milk 10 Tbsp butter Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease two 8-inch round cake pans; set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.

Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract, until thickened. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

Heat the milk in the microwave. Add the butter, stirring until the butter is melted. Add the milk to the

batter, stirring to combine.

Divide the batter between pans.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool cakes.

Pudding (Frosting) 2/3 cup sugar ¼ cup Flour 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1/2 tsp salt 2 eggs 2 cups whole milk, heated very hot 6 Tbsp butter 1 tsp vanilla ¼ tsp almond In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together sugar, flour, cornstarch, salt, and eggs until smooth. Gradually add the hot milk to the sugar and egg mixture, stirring constantly.

Over medium heat, stir constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.

Cool completely.

Slice the cakes in half horizontally. Set one of the four layers aside. On a cake plate, place one layer and frost with pudding as you would frosting.

Top with the next layer and frost.

Place the third layer on top and frost the entire cake on sides and top. With the last layer, over a bowl crumble the cake. Press the cake crumbs into the pudding all over the frosted cake. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

The constant during change

W

e have witnessed and experienced some drastic changes in our lives over the past several weeks. Distance learning, working from home, masks, death, loss of income, shopping challenges. New words came into our vocabulary, COVID-19, Wuhan, Dr. Fauci, asymptomatic, social distancing, just to name a few.

Depending on what news station, radio station, newspaper, podcast, internet story, we most often times would find variations on “what is going on.” Again, depending upon how the news is relayed makes a difference as to how the listener interprets the message.

Pastor The one book that never changes its message is the Bible.

Ponderings King Solomon wrote Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all Patricia your heart and lean not on your Clearence own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.”

In this time of uncertainty and unrest, it is important to find the constant; the peace; the direction in our lives. Not only us adults, but our children need the constant and the peace and the direction on a day-to-day basis.

Let us take this time to strengthen our faith, strengthen our relationship with God, and strengthen family relationships. Plan a Bible study with your family, or by yourself if you are alone. The messages in the Bible are the constant that we need to move forward through these days with grace and love.

We will survive just fi ne and grow stronger without a typical graduation ceremony, prom, church service, sporting events, or going out to eat. I encourage you to follow the words of King Solomon, “Trust in the Lord…”

Patricia Clearence is the chaplain for the Centennial Fire District and Lexington Fire Department.

Eleanor Ruth (nee Goehring) Yackel Longtime resident of Circle Pines, Eleanor Yackel lived a wonderful, full life of 87 ½ years and left this world on Pentecost Sunday, May 31, 2020. Born Oct. 22, 1932 in Springfield, Minnesota, she grew up on the family farm outside of Sanborn, Minnesota and graduated from Sanborn Public School. Eleanor loved people, life and music. She entertained with gusto and was a great-hearted, supportive friend to many people.

Music was a central part of Eleanor’s life. She received her bachelor’s degree in music education from St. Olaf college in 1954, taught music in public school for five years then gave piano lessons to hundreds of students in her home. She also directed numerous adult and children’s choirs, played the organ at Our Savior’s Lutheran church in Circle Pines, and wrote music for educational publications as well as for the choirs she directed.

Married to John Yackel in 1956, Eleanor was a warm, welcoming hostess to the many people who came through the doors of their family home, sharing her hospitality through good food, her ever–present smile, and sing-a-longs around the piano, which she dearly loved to play. Her graciousness was extended to larger circles when she established “Hospitality Place,” a center for retreat and renewal in her neighborhood.

A large part of Eleanor’s life was dedicated to American Guidance Service (A.G.S.), the educational publishing business that she helped her husband to start. Eleanor and John raised four children together: Margaret, Peter, Carl and Jean. Later the couple welcomed into the family two refugee sons, Kiet Phan and Mohammad Mohammad.

Find the church that fits your needs

Throughout her life, Eleanor was a role model for many as she lived out her faith in God. She knew that God loved her and called her to love her neighbors and all of God’s created world. She continually put others first and worked tirelessly to stand up and speak out in protest when she saw injustice and oppression, doing so with grace and a heart for reconciliation.

Eleanor was preceded in death by her parents Erna and Arnold Goehring, a sister, Gertrude Boyum and brothers-in-law, Earlo Boyum and Roland Pederson.

Eleanor is survived by her husband of 63 years, John Yackel and their children, Margaret (Mark) Yackel-Juleen, Peter (Alison Morse) Yackel, Carl (Jackie Haft) Yackel, and Jean Foster; nine grandchildren, Andrew, Elizabeth, Eli, Isaac, Frances, Jamishin, Jeanette, Jeana, Mike; and five great-grandchildren; sister, Jean; and seven nieces and nephews. She is loved and will be missed by many.

There will be a private family memorial service with a public Celebration of Life held at a later date.

Cougar alum Falck will fi nish college career as a Nebraska wide receiver

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

DAVE POPP | SUBMITTED

The Centennial girls lacrosse team put an ending to the 2020 non-season by having social distancing pictures taken of the seniors, coach Gary Nelson said. Front (from left): Hailey Herzig, Kennedy Grant. Middle: Layne Hofmann, Jenna Popp, Gabbi Buttweiler, Abby Willenbring. Back: Captain Jillian Neudahl, Coach Gary Nelson, Captain Carly Huntington, Coach Kurt Brouillet, Captain Justine Case. The girls also voted for next year’s captains, Sabra Brouillet, Neila Haney, and Zoe Schneider.

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Quad Community Press invited local athletes by email through their coaches to comment on the unprecedented loss of an entire season due to the pandemic along with what they did while still hoping to compete, and how they handled distance learning. Here are some reactions: Justine Case, senior lacrosse goalie, said, “I was super torn up about it when I heard my season was canceled. I really miss my teammates and goofing off with them during practice. I would’ve even been happy with a shortened season. I really wanted to play my senior year and have a great season to end on.”

Case did some running, practiced in her backyard, and got together with a few teammates to scrimmage in the park.

“I wanted to take sections and go on to state with my team in my senior year," she said. "All of us were so excited for this season and had done a ton of training to get ready for it.”

Case said distance learning was problematic for her. “It was easy to procrastinate the homework, I was not prepared for online learning whatsoever. Learning material on a screen versus in a classroom was way harder than I expected.”

Jack Simso, the Cougar tennis team’s

No. 1 singles player and second-year captain, said, “I missed playing tennis and I had hoped to play doubles in sections with my younger brother. I was hoping that it (the season) would resume.”

He ran and worked out to stay in shape.

“We expected to have a very strong team and compete for a conference championship,” Simso said. “We only lost one varsity player from last year.”

About school at home, he groused, “I didn’t like distance learning at all.”

Jack Hoglund, track and field captain, lamented, “I was absolutely devastated about losing my senior season. I have been working towards this year since I was a sixth grader trying out track for the first time, and to see it all end like this had me at a loss for words and emotions.”

A pole vaulter and hurdler, Hoglund missed the “mix” of every meet of competing hard and cheering friends on. “It just was the most fun I ever had, and I would give anything to experience it just one more time.” He was hoping to reach state in pole vault after missing by just one place last year.

He held out hope that the last few meets would be held and was working out with teammates until the final word came. “It also kept us in a good mood and spirits high just to be working out together one last time,” he said.

Levi Falck started his college sports career as a baseball recruit at the University of South Dakota (USD) and will fi nish as a football player in the Big Ten at the University of Nebraska.

The 2016 Centennial graduate switched to football at USD, played three seasons as wide receiver, and graduated early, which gave him the opportunity to play one more season at another school as a graduate transfer.

Falck, a kinesiology and sports science major, tweeted he was "excited for the opportunity to play another season of football at the University of Nebraska."

Falck, 6-2 and 205 pounds, had a solid sophomore year for USD with 45 catches for 492 yards and two touchdowns. One game in particular stood out. He caught 11 passes for 140 yards in the opener against Kansas State while covered by cornerback Duke Shelley, who was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the sixth round.

“Knowing that I could go up against those kinds of guys and make plays gave me the confidence,” Falck said in an interview with the Husker, a Nebraska website. “After that game, I was like, ‘Alright, if I graduate early, it’s always been my dream to play at a big school and I know I want to do well there, too. I don’t want to just go there.’ Knowing I could go against an NFL Draft pick and put up 11 catches on him, I knew I could do it if I kept working.”

His junior year, last fall, Falck suffered a broken bone in his hand and was limited to six games, making nine catches for 85 yards.

Still, Nebraska recruiter Trent Mossbrucker saw some fi lm on Falck and asked him to join the

Levi Falck

Cornhuskers as a walk-on. The Husker article said Iowa State had also shown interest.

At Centennial, Falck hit .510 with 25 stolen bases as a senior in baseball and signed with USD. He was also a dominant wide receiver in football, said Cougar coach Mike Diggins.

When the USD baseball coach who signed Falck left, the freshman switched to football as a walk-on.

In three games as a freshman, he caught 16 passes for 197 yards, and became a starter as a sophomore.

Nebraska, coached by Scott Frost, had a 5-7 record last year, 3-6 in the Big Ten. “I’m confident I’ll get down there and show them what I can do,” Falck told the Husker, “and then we have to wait and see what happens.”

[DRUG USE AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT, SOME VIOLENCE, AND SEXUALITY.] [DVD ONLY] — Nicolas Cage gives an Oscar-caliber performance as a reckless, dirty, rogue, highly decorated, Vicodin-popping, coke-snorting, New Orleans detective, who is suffering from debilitating back pain, in Werner Herzog’s gripping, raw, gritty, entertaining, cameo-dotted (Brad Dourif, Irma P. Hall, Xzibit, and Fairuza Balk) film sprinkled with biting humor as he breaks the law right and left jeopardizing fellow officers (Val Kilmer, Shawn Hatosy, et al.), his prostitute girlfriend (Eva Mendes), and even his retired police officer dad (Tom Bower) and beer-guzzling stepmom (Jennifer Coolidge).

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com This past week sure was packed with a few weather events. It featured a little of something for everyone and didn’t leave much, if any, damage. Much of the metro experienced its ďŹ rst 90Âş day of the year on June 1 and then again on June 2. I recorded 88Âş and 87Âş on those dates. With the heat came the humidity and a nice thunderstorm accompanied with pea size hail on June 2. An early morning thunderstorm last Friday, June 5 was of no consequence but did provide 0.28â€? of rain. A sunny day on Saturday turned into a lightning show in the evening, adding 0.20â€? of precipitation. Sunday was sunny, warm and super windy with gusts over 40 mph at times as the southerly winds brought in the heat and humidity again on Monday and Tuesday. Garden Notes: I picked my ďŹ rst strawberries of the season. This is my ďŹ rst successful attempt in growing them. They look great!

CITY OF LEXINGTON MAKING SAFE DRINKING WATER Your drinking water comes from the following groundwater sources: Lexington purchases water from Blaine and your system has a 309-foot-deep well that draws water from the Quaternary Buried Artesian aquifer.

Lexington works hard to provide you with safe and reliable drinking water that meets federal and state water quality requirements. The purpose of this report is to provide you with information on your drinking water and how to protect our precious water resources. &RQWDFW &LW\ RI /H[LQJWRQ DW LI \RX KDYH TXHVWLRQV DERXW /H[LQJWRQ¡V GULQNLQJ ZDWHU <RX FDQ DOVR DVN for information about how you can take part in decisions that may affect water quality.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets safe drinking water standards.

Bottled water must provide the same public health protection as public tap water.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.

LEXINGTON MONITORING RESULTS This report contains our monitoring results from January 1 to December 31, 2019.

We work with the Minnesota Department of Health to test drinking water for more than 100 contaminants. It is not unusual to detect contaminants in small amounts. No water supply is ever completely free of contaminants. Drinking water standards protect Minnesotans from substances that may be harmful to their health. /HDUQ PRUH E\ YLVLWLQJ WKH 0LQQHVRWD 'HSDUWPHQW RI +HDOWK¡V ZHESDJH œ%DVLFV RI 0RQLWRULQJ DQG WHVWLQJ RI 'ULQNLQJ :DWHU LQ 0LQQHVRWD¡ KWWSV ZZZ KHDOWK VWDWH PQ XV FRPPXQLWLHV HQYLURQPHQW ZDWHU IDFWVKHHW VDPSOLQJ KWPO

If we found any of these contaminants the last time we sampled for them, we included them in the tables below with the detection date.

Unregulated contaminants do not have legal limits for drinking water.

Detection alone of a regulated or unregulated contaminant should not cause concern. The meaning of a detection should be determined considering current health effects information. We are often still learning about the health effects, so this information can change over time.

The following table shows the unregulated contaminants we detected last year, as well as human-health based guidance values for comparison, where available. The comparison values are based only on potential health impacts and do not consider our ability to measure contaminants at very low concentrations or the cost and technology of preYHQWLRQ DQG RU WUHDWPHQW 7KH\ PD\ EH VHW DW OHYHOV WKDW DUH FRVWO\ FKDOOHQJLQJ RU LPSRVVLEOH IRU ZDWHU V\VWHPV WR PHHW IRU H[DPSOH ODUJH VFDOH WUHDWPHQW WHFKQRORJ\ PD\ QRW H[LVW IRU D JLYHQ FRQWDPLQDQW

A person drinking water with a contaminant at or below the comparison value would be at little or no risk for harmful health effects. If the level of a contaminant is above the comparison value, people of a certain age or with special health conditions - like a fetus, infants, children, elderly, and people with impaired immunity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; may need to take extra precautions. Because these contaminants are unregulated, EPA and MDH require no particular action based on detection of an unregulated contaminant. We are notifying you of the unregulated contaminants we have detected as a public education opportunity.

Coming in contact with lead can cause serious health problems for everyone. There is no safe level of lead. Babies, children under six years, and pregnant women are at the highest risk.

Lead is rarely in a drinking water source, but it can get in your drinking water as it passes through lead service lines and your household plumbing system. Lexington provides high quality drinking water, but it cannot control the plumbing materials used in private buildings.

3. Test your water. In most cases, letting the water run and using cold water for drinking and cooking should keep lead levels low in your drinking water.
