Important Information About Your Drinking Water From Water District No. 1 of Midland County
What happened? What is being done?
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy set ranges for our water quality parameters on May 12, 2022. After these ranges were designated, we collected samples in the distribution system on August 2, 2023, that were below the required minimum value for pH. Ten excursion days were counted in the distribution system between the dates of August 2nd and August 11th, 2023. Additionally, alkalinity samples were collected on November 20th, which also were below the required minimum value for alkalinity. We are working on following up with all water quality parameter results timely to prevent this from happening again. For more information, please contact Water District #1 of Midland County, 989-687-2709, or 246 East Price Road, P.O. Box 320, Midland, Michigan 48657.

What should I do?
You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.
02
What does this mean?
This situation does not require that you take immediate action. If it had, you would have been notified immediately. This is a treatment violation, but it does not mean there is lead or copper in your drinking water.

Lead-
Infants and children who drink water containing lead could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure.
04
Copper-
Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over many years could suffer liver or kidney damage. People with Wilson's disease should consult their personal doctor.
