Thank you to everyone for approving the

millage in the last year. With a 25 percent

drop in property taxes, the additional mills

allowed us to continue with a healthy,

positive budget to maintain the city

services that we all enjoy. Our

family-friendly city is able to boast of increasing property

values and progress toward creating a growing and

sustainable community in this new year. New businesses

include the Social Security office, Peaktronics (electronics),

Suburban Group (vehicles), Body by Guilianna (fitness), Maple

Arcade (art studio/gallery), Trio Art Studio, Treasurable

Antiques, Village Shoe Inn, Krispy Chicken/Deputy Dogs,

Silver Shears Salon, Zip Tanz (tanning), Alice Huang Wellness

Center, Allstate Insurance, State Farm Insurance, Tropical

Smoothie Café, Foam and More (mattresses), Mojave Cantina

(restaurant) and an Auto-web realty group. Plans in this year

included contracting with Honeywell, an agency who provided

an energy efficient study for city buildings, exploring bike and

pedestrian crossings, an emergency plan and notification

system and continued sewer rehabilitation. We are seeing an

emergence of art in our community with the formation of an

art committee, the Clawson Cultural Foundation, and its many

plans including a Boogie Woogie Concert, a Dinner Theater

Mystery, Melodies Clash (battle of the bands) and Clawson Art

in the Park. It’s an explosion of art, in collaboration with

schools and businesses, to focus on our strengths and talents

each of us bring to life. People choose to lives in a place that

offers resources and opportunities to support thriving

lifestyles. That’s Clawson – the little city with a big heart. From

the various civic and community groups to dedicated staff –

I thank you for your work. It is an honor and privilege to serve

you. As always, we welcome meeting each and every one of

you at Coffee with Council the first Tuesday of each month

7 – 7.30 pm at City Hall. You are always welcome to attend a

committee meeting or become a volunteer-I’d be happy to

provide a list of volunteer opportunities for you!

citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that

ever has” Margaret Mead

have declared the week of April 7-13 as

Severe Weather Awareness Week!

In an effort to promote tornado safety

preparedness, Clawson will conduct a

special test and activation of the outdoor

warning system on Wednesday, April 10 at 1pm.


Water Quality Report

CITY OF CLAWSON 2012 CONSUMERS ANNUAL REPORT ON WATER QUALITY

ATTENTION: THIS IS AN IMPORTANT REPORT ON WATER QUALITY AND SAFETY

The City of Clawson, The Southeastern Oakland County Water Authority and the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department

(DWSD) are proud of the fine drinking water they supply and are honored to provide this report to you. The 2012 Consumers

Annual Report on Water Quality shows the sources of our water, lists the results of our tests, and contains important

information about water and health. We will notify you immediately if there is ever any reason for concern about our water. We

are pleased to show you how we have surpassed water quality standards as mandated by the Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ).

About the System

The City of Clawson purchases water from the Southeastern Oakland County Water Authority (SOCWA) at three locations.

SOCWA provides Detroit water through its member distribution systems to a population of 210,000 within a 56 square mile

area. Current members are: Berkley, Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms, Birmingham, Clawson, Huntington Woods, Lathrup Village,

Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, Southfield and Southfield Township and to our customers Bloomfield Hills and Bloomfield

Township.

Your source water comes from the Detroit River (treated at the Springwells Plant), situated within Lake St. Clair, Clinton River,

Detroit River, Rouge River, Ecorse River, in the U.S. and parts of the Thames River, Little River, Turkey Creek and Sydenham

watersheds in Canada. The MDEQ in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department,

and the Michigan Public Health Institute performed a source water assessment in 2004 to determine the susceptibility of

potential contamination. The susceptibility rating is on a seven-tiered scale from “very low” to “very high” based primarily on

geologic sensitivity, water chemistry, and contaminant sources. The susceptibility of our Detroit River source water intakes

were determined to be highly susceptible to potential contamination. However, all four Detroit water treatment plants that use

source water from the Detroit River have historically provided satisfactory treatment of this source water to meet drinking

water standards.

DWSD has initiated source-water protection activities that include chemical containment, spill response, and a mercury

reduction program. DWSD participates in a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit discharge program and has

an emergency response management plan.

If you would like to know more information about this report or to obtain a complete copy, please contact your local water

department.

How Do We Know the Water is Safe to Drink?

Detroit Water and Sewerage Department facilities operate twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The treatment process

begins with disinfecting the source water with chlorine to kill harmful microorganisms that can cause illness. Next, a chemical

called Alum is mixed with the water to remove the fine particles that make the water cloudy or turbid. Alum causes the

particles to clump together and settle to the bottom. Fluoride is also added to protect our teeth from cavities and decay.

The water then flows through fine sand filters called beds. These filters remove even more particles and certain

microorganisms that are resistant to chlorine. Finally, a small amount of phosphoric acid and chlorine are added to the treated

water just before it leaves the treatment plant. The phosphoric acid helps control the lead that may dissolve in water from

household plumbing systems. The chlorine keeps the water disinfected as it travels through water mains to reach your home.

In addition to a carefully controlled and monitored treatment process, the water is tested for a variety of substances before

treatment, during various stages of treatment, and throughout the distribution system. Hundreds of samples are tested each

week in certified laboratories by highly qualified and trained staff. Our water not only meets safety and health standards, but

also ranks among the top 10 in the country for quality and value.

Additional Information

In order to ensure that tap water 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.

The sources of drinking water (both tap water 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 storm water 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 storm water runoff and

residential uses.

■Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organics, which are by-products of industrial processes and

petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff and septic systems.

■Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

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 at 800-426-4791.

Detected Contaminants Tables

These tables are based on tests conducted by DWSD in the year 2011 or the most recent testing done within the last five (5)

calendar years. They conduct many tests throughout the year; however, only tests that show the presence of a contaminant

are shown here.

Key to Detected Contaminants Table

Important Health Information

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 City of

Clawson 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.

People With Special Health Concerns

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than is 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 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 of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the

Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible

that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your

home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home’s water, you may wish to have your water

tested and flush your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using tap water. Additional information is available from the Safe

Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Other Monitoring

In addition to testing we are required to perform, our water system voluntarily tests for hundreds of additional substances and

microscopic organisms to make certain our water is safe and of the highest quality. If you are interested in a more detailed

West Nile Virus (WNV) is a potentially serious illness.

Experts believe it is established as a seasonal epidemic in

North America that flares up in the summer and continues

into the fall. It can infect humans, birds, horses and some

other mammals. In a small number of people infected by

the virus, the disease can be serious, even fatal.

WNV is most often spread to humans by the bite of an

infected mosquito that gets infected by biting a bird

that carries the virus. Horses and other mammals bitten

by mosquitoes that carry the virus can also become

infected. Whenever mosquitoes are active there is a risk

of getting WNV. The risk is highest from late July

through September.

The best way to avoid WNV infection is to prevent mosquito bites:

■ Use insect repellent. The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) recommends the use of insect repellents

containing active ingredients registered with the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

■ Always follow manufacturer’s directions carefully, especially

when using on children.

■ Wear protective clothing such as long sleeved shirts and pants.

■ Limit outdoor activity between dusk and dawn when

mosquitoes are most active.

■ Avoid areas where mosquitoes may be present (i.e. shaded

and wooded areas).

■ Maintain window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out of

buildings.

■ Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water

that collects in birdbaths, boats, buckets, tires, unused pools,

roof gutters and other containers.

For more information, call the Oakland County Health Division at

(248) 858-1406 / toll free 1 (800) 848-5533 or visit their

website at www.oakgov.com/health.
