Cipydf Clio OVERVIEW 2023 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report The City ofClio Department of Public Services (DPS) is dedicated to providing quality drinking water to the residents and businesses of the community. The City ofCliol DPS routinely samples and tests the drinking water for a number of different contaminants, and continues to develop and institute an asset management plan for the water system. This asset management program includes but is not limited to, valve inspection and operation, hydrant flushing and inspection, and cross connection inspections. In conjunction with these programs, the City also continues working to update mapping to verify the location, size, and material ofthe City's water distribution system. The City ofClio DPS is committed to thorough notification to our customers ifthere is any reason for concern about the quality or safety of The City of Clio purchases water: from the Genesee County Drain Commissioner - Division of Water and Waste Services via the Karegnondi Water Authority. The KWA's primary source of water is from Lake Huron. The raw water intake ist transported via a watermain to ai new state of the art water treatment plant that isi in Columbiaville, Michigan. After the drinking water treatment process is completed by state certified professionals, the wateris the drinking water. WATER SOURCE AND TREATMENT distributed to many communities within Lapeer and Genesee County. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In order to ensure that tap wateri is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may: reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts ofs some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses al health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protections The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels overt the surface oft 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 Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic 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, urban stormwater Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic, which are by-products ofindustrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come: from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result ofoil and gas production and Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). from human activity.

Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Genesee County Water and Waste Services 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. Ifyou are concerned about lead in your water, you) may wish tol have your water tested. Infants and children who drink water containing lead could experience delays int 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. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take toi minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-479lor. at tp/www.epagov/drnkintolead. PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL HEALTHCONCERNS Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than is the general population. Immuno- compromised persons, such as persons with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system 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 ofinfection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are cryptosporidium is a disease-causing parasite that lives in the intestinal tract of many animals including dogs and cats. Symptoms ofinfection include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, headaches, nausea and vomiting. The disease is typically spread through contact with feces of an infected animal or person and consuming contaminated food or water. Cryptosporidium can bei introduced intol bodies of water by way ofs surface water run off containing animal waste and sewage discharge. The water supplied toi the City ofC Clio has been tested for Cryptosporidium since 1994 and has never been detected in any water available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). CRYTOSPORIDIUM supply samples. NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS 1. Monitoring Requirements Not] Met for the City of Clio We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on ai regular basis. Results ofregular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During December 1 to December 31,2023, we did not complete all monitoring or testing for total coliform bacteria, and therefore cannot be sure of the quality ofyour drinking water during that time. However, this violation does not pose a threat to your supply's water. What should Ido? There is nothing you need to do at this time. This is not an emergency. You do not need to boil water or use an alternative source of water at this time.
