2018 Water Quality Report for Village of Almont

Your water comes from the Lake Huron Water Treatment Plant located five miles north of the City of Port Huron. Monitoring and Reporting to the DEQ Requirements: The State and EPA require us to test our water on a regular basis
The water arrives at the plant via a deep tunnel with the intake offshore under 45 feet of water. The water is pumped to ensure its safety. We met all the monitoring and reporting requirements for 2018. We are committed to providing you

• Contaminants and their presence in water: Drinking Water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expect-
ed to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate
that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by
calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
• Vulnerability of sub-populations: Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than
the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons
who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems 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 microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
• Sources of drinking water: The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes,
streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. Our water comes from 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 include:
— Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic
systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
— Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban
stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
— Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential uses.
— Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and
mining activities.
— 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 stormwater runoff,
and septic systems.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain con-
taminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for
contaminants in bottled water which provide the same protection for public health.

90 percent of the samples collected were at or below the level reported for our water.
Information about lead: 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 associated
with service lines and home plumbing. The Village of Almont is responsible 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 flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using
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 http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Monitoring and Reporting to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Requirements: The State of
Michigan and the U.S. EPA require us to test our water on a regular basis to ensure its safety. We met all the monitoring
and reporting requirements for 2018.
We will update this report annually and will keep you informed of any problems that may occur throughout the year,
as they happen. Copies are available at Village offices and published in the tri City Times and available on the Villages
web site and Facebook Page This report will not be sent to you.
