FY| —in case you weren’t bcc’d on this note. Just wanted to make sure we stay on the same page.... Nicely done Steve and Mike.

For reference, attached is the county health department’s FOIA request to the City of Flint from January. Stephen Busch, P.E. Lansing and Jackson District Supervisor Office of Drinking Water and Municipal Assistance MDEQ 517-643-2314

Importance: High The district received this late Tuesday. Steve Busch has indicated that the district has not received a meeting request from Jim Henry or the Genesee County Health Department as indicated in his email below. The FOIA is specifically directed to the City of Flint not the DEQ. While the change in source may have created water quality conditions that could provide additional organic nutrient source to support legionella growth, there is no evidence or confirmation of legionella coming directly from the Water Treatment Plant or in the community water supply distribution system at this time. Seems like the next step is to communicate with DCH and possibly develop a joint strategy/response. Not sure who in Exec wants to take the lead on this. Steve Busch and Mike Prysby will continue to be lead for us on this. They have been in contact with DCH recently but only to learn that little progress has been made in identifying a source or sources for the illnesses. Begin forwarded message:

FYi-~ heads up. Appears that Alpena and Alpena Township are involved in a dispute regarcing water rates. Alpena Township has not been paying the full ammount owed to the city because they belleve the rates are too high. | understand that the balance owed has been placed in an escrow account. The city is considering severing service to the township for lack of payment.

Utility Repairs Dort Hwy Oct 18 2014.pdf FYI. The City of Flint is doing some major repair work this weekend as indicated in the attached information. Customers in the affected area are being notified by the City that they may temporarily lose service and that when service is restored should boil their water until the City can verify that the line was properly disinfected through bacteria monitoring results. This protocol follows normal construction repair standards. To be clear this advisory is not based on any confirmed contamination, but a standard precautionary measure as part of normal construction and repair work. Stephen Busch, P.E.
