Remember, you’re not justfertilizing your lawn

Support provided by SEMCOG, the Southeast Michigan Councilof Governments (313) 961-4266 and the Rouge River NationalWet Weather Demonstration Project
Fertilize sparingly and caringly
Green grass can result in green lakes.That's because storm drains found in our streets and yards leaddirectly to our lakes and streams. So, fertilizer from your lawn caneasily end up in our water. This fertilizer can form large algaeblooms and use up oxygen fish and other aquatic insects needto survive.
What can you do? Simple. These tips will help stopour lakes from turning green and keep some greenin your pocket.• Sweep fertilizer off of driveways and sidewalks and back
onto your lawn.• Recycle grass clippings by leaving them on your lawn.• Use fertilizer with no or low phosphorus.• Select a slow–release fertilizer where at least half of the
nitrogen is water insoluble (check the label).
Keep the green where it belongs.

2009 Consumer Confidence Report for 73701628 SCHOFIELD WATERWORKS
Water System Information
If you would like to know more about the information contained in this report, please contact Kevin King at (715)571-8436.
Health Information 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. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
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 Environmental Protection Agency's safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

To obtain a summary of the source water assessment, please contact Kevin King at 715-571-8436.
Educational Information The sources of drinking water, both tap and bottled water, include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and 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, urban stormwater runoff and
residential uses. 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. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining
activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health.
SCHOFIELD SPOTLIGHTPAGE 18
Number of Contaminants Required to be Tested This table displays the number of contaminants that were required to be tested in the last five years. The CCR may contain up to five years worth of water quality results. If a water system tests annually, or more frequently, the results fromthe most recent year are shown on the CCR. If testing is done less frequently, the results shown on the CCR are from the past five years.

* Systems exceeding a lead and/or copper action level must take actions to reduce lead and/or copper in the drinking water. The lead and copper values represent the 90th percentile of all compliance samples collected. If you want information on the NUMBER of sites or the actions taken to reduce these levels, please contact your water supply operator.

Definition of Terms Term Definition
AL Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.
MCL Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
MCLG Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The 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.
