PUBLIC NOTICE

This notice is provided for the health and safety of the water customers of the City of Clare and to ensure they are provided accurate, reliable, and correct information regarding the City of Clare’s public drinking water.

All water customers of the City of Clare very recently received letter notice of lead in six (6) of the twenty (20) sites tested within the City during the past six-month period that exceeded the Action Level (AL) for lead; all six of those sites exceeding the Action Level for lead were in the City’s historic downtown district. The letter of notice included a table on Page 1. The extract of that table is provided here:

Most Recent Sampling Information

Action Levels	90th Percentile Value	Range of results (minimum-maximum)	# of sites used for 90th Percentile
Lead 15 parts per billion (ppb)	24 ppb	0-34 ppb	20
Copper 1.3 parts per million ppm)	0.7 ppm	0.1-0.8 ppm	20

The table is incorrect as it indicates that the 90th Percentile Value of Lead is 2 parts per billion (ppb). The correct value is 24ppb as shown above – not 2ppb as erroneously indicated in the table. If you have questions regarding this typographical error, please contact Mr. Dale Clark, the City of Clare Water Superintendent, at 989.386-2321.
