know what that means. It’s time to prep your lawn and garden for the season ahead. Usually that starts with a good cleaning.
Here are some tips:

CITY OF PLAINWELL, MICHIGAN 2012 WATER QUALITY REPORT
The Plainwell Department of Public Works is pleased to provide you with this year's annual Water Quality Report. This report presents information about drinking water in general and Plainwell’s water system in particular. Untreated water contains impurities that are naturally occurring or manmade. As water travels overland or underground, it can pick up substances such as microbes, inorganic and organic chemicals, and radioactive substances. Microbial contaminants such as viruses and bacteria may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants such as salts and metals 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 may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants including synthetic and volatile organic compounds are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production and can also come from gas stations, chemical spills, urban storm water runoff and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants can occur naturally or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
Plainwell Water System Overview
The City of Plainwell uses water obtained from wells. The City has two high capacity and one lower capacity well that draw ground water from an aquifer underlying the city. We drive these wells with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to maintain a more even water pressure and to reduce distribution system damage due to water hammer when wells are starting and stopping. The water from these wells is relatively pure as it comes from the ground. As the water is pumped from the ground, fluoride is added to aid in the prevention of tooth decay, and chlorine is added as a disinfectant to destroy pathogenic organisms that can be harmful to your health. The clean water is then pumped into the distribution system. Our public works staff monitors our water supply, pumping and treatment processes and our distribution system and collects and tests water samples from the system each day. These tests ensure that proper chemical levels are maintained and that the water remains free of unwanted contaminants. The water we produce meets or exceeds all State and Federal requirements and our Water Department had no violations in 2012. Plainwell began work on a Wellhead Protection Program in 1994 to protect its groundwater from the potential of contamination. This work included evaluating current and future well sites and the areas surrounding them, identifying existing and potential sources of contamination within these areas and developing methods to minimize threats to both developed and future well supplies. Program requirements were met and implementation began in 1998. We ask that everyone help us to protect our water sources. If you see questionable activity at or near a manhole, a well house, or anywhere that may impact groundwater, please notify Public Safety at (269) 6859858 or call 911. The susceptibility to contamination for Plainwell’s operating well fields was determined by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) in 2003. Susceptibility is rated on a six-tier scale from “Very Low” to “Very High” based on geologic sensitivity, water chemistry, and current or potential contaminant sources. According to the DEQ, our wells were rated high and moderately high in susceptibility. Information on the report can be obtained by contacting the Plainwell Department of Public Works at 685-9363 or emailing rupdike@plainwell.org.
Interpreting the data in the attached table
All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may reasonably be expected to contain some impurities. The presence of impurities does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) follows regulations developed by the Federal Government’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The EPA and CDC have established, and MDEQ enforces, a set of Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) to protect public health. MCLs are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated elements, a person would have to drink two liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immune-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, persons with HIV, AIDS or other immune system disorders, the elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care providers about drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). 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 in service lines and building plumbing. Plainwell is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in your private 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 the 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 www.epa.gov/safewater/lead As required, we monitor for potential contaminants in the water supply to meet all regulatory requirements. The attached table shows that our system had no violations. Some substances were detected but the EPA has determined that your water is safe at these levels. We make improvements to supply safe, dependable water to our customers and these improvements may result in rate adjustments. Thank you for understanding this and for trusting us to provide your family with clean, quality water. The 2012 Water Quality Report will not be mailed except by request. Copies are available from Public Works or City Hall during normal business hours, and on the city web site at www.plainwell.org. You may request a copy by email from Public Works at rupdike@plainwell.org.

Action Level (AL) – The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - Highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) - 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. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - Highest level of disinfectant allowed in drinking water; there is convincing evidence that use of a disinfectant is necessary to control microbials. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - Level of drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Non-Detects (ND) – Laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (mg/l) – One part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2000 years or a single penny in $10,000,000. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l)– One part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. RAA – Running annual average. For most contaminants, this is calculated quarterly.

Faith &Hope
When In Doubt … “… Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” – Jesus (John 20:29) Some of the strongest Christian persons struggled with doubt. Examples include the late C.S. Lewis (novelist, poet, academic), the late Mother Teresa (Founder of Missionaries of Charity and l979 Nobel Peace Prize recipient), and Lee Strobel (former atheist, award-winning legal editor, author and pastor).
One would think the empty tomb and His postresurrection appearances would have removed all doubt, but even after spending 40 days with them, the disciples naively asked, “Lord are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts l: 6). So Thomas wasn’t the only doubter.
Here are three thoughts on doubt: • It is not a sin to doubt. “Doubting Thomas” was chosen by Christ to follow Him (Mark 3:l8). Jesus did not condemn Thomas for his doubts. • Doubt can be a sign of courage. When Jesus headed toward Jerusalem to lay down his life, it was Thomas who had the courage to say, “Let us also go, that we may die with him” (John 11:16). • Doubt can lead to faith. Jesus acknowledged that it is easier for some to believe than others (John 20:29). When in doubt … remember the faith of Thomas! Prayer: Lord, help us to believe even when we do not see. Peace to you and please join us for worship this Sunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived. Rev. Dan Minor, Pastoral friend & colleague of Rev. Joe Shaler Sponsored In Part by:

Navy Seaman Recruit Chelsi T. Hoisington, daughter of Christine L. Hallmark of Otsego, Mich. and Gerald A. Hoisington, Sr of Norton Shores, Mich., recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Hoisington completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations". This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ''Navy'' flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Hoisington is a 2011 graduate of Otsego High School of Otsego, Mich.

Opinion What Does “No” Mean. I do believe that City Hall thinks it mean maybe. We were asked last November to approve a tax increase to buy a new Tanker truck for the Fire Department. It was voted down. Now 6 months later at an election that a large portion of pay little or no attention to, we are asked to vote again on this tax increase. Whether this truck is needed or not is not the question in my mind. That it can be brought up again and again is. No means no, not maybe. Bruce R. Smith We Now Take Visa and Mastercard!
