Technical Advisory team, We are planning to hold our next advisory meeting on Wednesday May 20th 2:00 pm at City Hall. The focus points of the meeting will be to convey the advancements in the current. water quality, the summer implementation plans and and the latest information on test results. We continue to offer testing and to look for any residential concerns about the water. I encourage all of the hospital and college representatives to bring forward any recent issues that may have arisen and we will look to discuss those as well as any other situations that we are aware of. I will send out an agenda early next week’and we will plan on having a conference line available to call in. Please send any questions or comments to me if there are items that you would like to see addressed. ‘Thank you, Howard Croft Public Works Director City of Flint , 1101 S.

Although this incident was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we are doing to correct this situation. We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Samples were collected for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) analysis from eight locations on a quarterly basis (May 21, August 21, November 20 of 2014, and February 17, 2015). The average of the results at ANY of the eight locations must not exceed the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for TTHMs, otherwise our water system exceeds the MCL. The standard for TTHMs is 80 micro grams per liter (ug/L). The location reporting the highest TTHM level was 105 ug/L; thus, our water system exceeds the TTHM MCL. What should | do? « There Is nothing you need to do unless you have a severely compromised immune system, have an infant, or are elderly. These people may be at increased risk and should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. ¢ You do not need to boll your water or take other corrective actions. Ifa situation arises where the water is no longer safe to drink, you will be notified within 24 hours. What does this mean? This is not an emergency. If tt had been an emergency, you would have been notified within 24 hours. People who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervaus system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer What is being done? We are currently working on solutions to correct the problem. We anticipate resolving the problem in 2015. Our most recant individual sample results were ail less than half the 80 pg/L standard, however since compliance Is calculated using a locational running annual average (LRAA) of the most recent four quarters, we are still out of compliance with the MCL at two of eight locations. For more information, please contact Mr. Brent Wright at 517-787-6537, or the Flint Water Plant at 4500 North Dort Highway, Flint, Michigan 48505. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing caples by hand or mall. This notice is being sent to you by the City of Flint. CERTIFICATION. 72 53 WSSN: 02310 | certify that this water supply has fully complied with the public notification requirements in the Michigan Safe Drinking Water Act, 1976 PA 399, as amended, and the administrative rules.

Jason, Money to be available is $2.24 million.... and the interest rate remains at 2.5%.... Total interest to be paid ($12.1 million) is $228,000 greater than the total interest to be paid in the original issue ($11.9 m) over the life of the issue...

Responding to items in the release: 1) is total amount now available $2.24 or $2.4 million? Both numbers are used in statement. 2)is new interest rate 2.5% + 2%? So 4.5%? That is how I am reading last line in the statement. LIZ

Ma. Murphy, Thank you. The calculations in the table was provided by treasury and | was seeking clarification. | arn nota water expert, but | learned that typically, mast rates have two components. 1. Fined-cost recovery charge This charge is based on the size of the water meter at the home or business. Most residential customers will have a meter between 5/8°"s of an inch and 1 inch. 2. Consumption Charge This charge Is based on the amount of water used. The rate for usage is determined by the distance and elevation of the home or business from the water source. NECK is used in many place for calculating rates; however, since Flint is currently not using this calculation, what are the cost components that make up the $149 avg. monthly charge to the resident? Best, Harvey

Mr. Hollins, Jerry Ambrose asked me to respond to your request for more information on the Flint water cost analysis chart which you sent him yesterday. Please see the attached chart; it contains an added analysis by Jerry. The sections for which you asked for data can not be provided as we don't calculate prices in the manner you are comparing. Jerry's chart clearly represents what Flint has been talking about - a major increase in water rates would be necessary to pay the additional charge to purchase DWSD water.

Saginaw Street Flint, Michigan 48502 Dear Messrs. Earley and Walling: Regarding: Re-establishing Detroit Water and Sewerage Department Water Service I was recently referred to a report in MLive in which there was reference to the City of Flint (City) potentially re-visiting its decision to utilize Flint River water as a water source prior to the completion of the KWA pipeline. Within that report, there appeared to be some incorrect assumptions about the cost of water service from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD). | write to you today to express the willingness of DWSD to resume delivery of drinking water to the City and its residents. We have monitored the water quality issues that have troubled the City since May, 2014, and understand that many of the difficulties stem from the limited access to source water. Please know that DWSD is ready, willing and able to resume service to the City if you so desire. If the City is interested in a long term arrangement with DWSD, with this goal in mind, we offer that the City can immediately reconnect to the DWSD system at no additional charge to the City and at the same “expired contract” rate that the City was paying in April, 2014, modified to reflect the 4% increase experienced by all other wholesale customers in July, 2014. The resulting rate structure is a fixed monthly rate of $846,700 and a commodity rate of $14.92/Mcf. In order to facilitate contract negotiations, DWSD is willing to extend this rate to the City (and to Genesee County as the City’s partner and former customer) until June 30, 2015. We at DWSD take very seriously the matter of drinking water quality, and we are as concerned as you must be by the continued quality issues faced by the City. We are confident that DWSD can provide you with a solution for reliable, safe, high quality water on an expeditious timeline. Please contact me directly at (313) 224-4701 if you wish to discuss this offer further. Sincerely yours, ee FY “ek Sue F.

Hi Liz, In regard to the answers to the questions, I have listed the responses for which I have information compiled below. 1. The "Units" from the Treasurer Analysis is million cubic feet. The amounts are derived from two separate sources of data to allow for an evaluation of an entire 12 month period. For the period from January through April (which is before the Flint River was utilized as the source of the water), the amounts represent the actual billings from the Detroit Water & Sewer invoices. For the period from May through December, the amounts are from the production totals that are reported to our Office from Brent Wright in Water Operations. I understand that there has been a decrease in units as the usage previously attributable to General Motors operations on the Flint water system has been diverted to the Genesee County system. 87 xxxEND_PAGE:treasury01_b27_4112_4389_143 5. The total of the invoices the City of Flint paid for the DWSD water for the 12 months prior to May Ist was $25,503,911. The invoices were for 1,285,982.1 million cubic feet. The analysis total of $23,546,288 is based on the actual usage amounts (which included the aforementioned period from January through April when DWSD provided water) and will reflect lower usage as General Motors left the system, customer changes in usage, and variations in watering. 6. The estimated financial impact needs to be roughly defined due to assumptions pertaining to the incremental expenses incurred from treating the water from the river. Without a full year of history, developing trends for certain expenses is difficult and some billing cycles for certain additional material expenses like electric power lag by one month the actual period for which the expense was incurred. Also, because of certain positions being eliminated in the budget and with wage and benefit changes from contract concessions distorting the data, obtaining a "trued up" year over year comparison of expenses poses a challenge. Looking at the six months of actual data, the incremental additional expenses to treat the water from the river have been $1,469,962. This is compared with the budgeted incremental additional expenses that approximate $2,875,048. These amounts need to be evaluated in conjunction with the $25,503,911 the City of Flint paid for the DWSD water for the 12 months prior to May 1st and the previously provided Treasurer Analysis total of $23,546,288. If you have any questions or need more information, please let me know (I attached two workbooks which provides background information). Thank you.

Mike, Thank you so much for looking that up. I will look for it today or Monday. LIZ

Mike, Could you tell me which municipal water systems in Michigan treat river water? I know Ann Arbor uses the Huron River and I believe there are cities using the Detroit River. I would like to get a contact for their labs so see if they could sample and test Flint's water production. This would be an independent source of testing, in addition to our own.
