PUBLIC NOTICE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Reporting Requirements Not Met for Morenci
We are required to report the results of your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not your drinking water meets health standards. While we collected our monthly total coliform samples on time, we did not report the results to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) by the July 10, 2022, deadline for the June 1 to June 30, 2022, compliance period.
What should I do?
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. The results of the samples were negative for bacteria. Even though public health was not impacted, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we did to correct the situation.
What happened? What is being done?
While we collected the samples on time, we inadvertently missed reporting the sample results to EGLE by the required deadline. We are required to monitor total coliform by collecting two sample per month. We collected the required samples on June 1, 2022, but failed to report the results until July 27, 2022. We are making efforts to ensure this does not happen again. We have already returned to compliance.

This information was included as part of the 2022 Consumer Confidence Report that was mailed to residences.
