Jim - we should! have a new draft of the compliance monitoring sampling instructions ready for you by lunch. xxxEND_PAGE:deq16_b4_0688_0891_055 DRINKING WATER LEAD AND COPPER SAMPLING INSTRUCTIONS Dear Resident: Thank you for helping to monitor for lead and copper in your drinking water. This sampling is required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, and is being accomplished through the cooperation of homeowners and residents. It is important that you follow these instructions so we collect an accurate measurement of the lead and copper in your drinking water. This sample should represent the water you would typically drink and the faucet from where you drink the water. To best accomplish this, select a faucet for sampling that was used the day before. Call your water supply if you have questions. 1. Water must sit idle in the pipes for an extended length of time before sampling. Therefore, do not use any water in the house for at least 6 hours before sampling. If the faucet has been idle more than 18 hours, the sample might not be analyzed because it does not represent typical daily use. The best times to sample are early morning or after returning from work. 2. Select an unfiltered/untreated faucet in the KITCHEN or BATHROOM that is commonly used for drinking. DO NOT sample from a laundry sink or a hose spigot as these samples cannot be used for compliance. DO NOT use a faucet that has a filter attached to it unless you bypass the filter. DO NOT use a faucet that is connected to a home water treatment device (like a water softener, iron filter, reverse osmosis) unless you bypass the home water treatment device. 3. If you have a single handle faucet, turn it to the COLD side. Place the open sample bottle below the faucet and gently open the cold water tap. Fill the sample bottle to the neck with the “first draw” of COLD water. 4. Tightly cap the sample bottle and place in the sample kit provided. Review the sample kit label to ensure all information contained on the label is correct. 5. Answer the questions on the back of this form and sign the form. 6. Attach this form to the bottle and leave it outside your front door for pick-up. 7. Thank you again for your help. We will send you the results within 30 days of receiving them. Information on this year’s lead and copper monitoring will be printed in the Annual Water Quality Report that will be made available to you by July 1 of next year. Contact your water supply if you have questions.

Enhanced Water Quality Parameter Monitoring The City’s revised monitoring schedule dated October 22, 2015, requires quarterly Water Quality Parameter Monitoring at 25 sites throughout the City’s water distribution system for temperature (Celcius), Conductivity (mS), pH, Total Alkalinity (mg/L as CaCQs), Calcium (mg/L as Ca’), and orthophosphate (mg/L PO,). Ten of these 25 sites are also used by the City to conduct required total coliform bacteria and chlorine residual monitoring (location numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, CS, and WS). At these ten locations the City shall also conduct weekly monitoring for the following parameters at the same time that total coliform bacteria and chlorine residual monitoring is conducted to further assess water stability: - Turbidity (NTU) - Calcium (mg/L as Ca”*) - Iron (mg/L) - Chloride (mg/L as CI) - Orthophosphate (mg/L PO,) - Temperature (Celcius) - pH - Conductivity (mS) - Total Alkalinity (mg/L as CaCO;) If orthophosphate residual levels less than 3.1 mg/L as PO, (1.0 mg/L as P) are detected at any of these locations, then orthophosphate dosage shall be increased to achieve the minimum phosphate residual of 3.1 mg/L as PO, (1.0 mg/L as P) at all locations. In addition, if pH levels of 7.0 or less are detected at any of these locations, the City shall immediately notify the MDEQ. Corrosion Control Treatment Test Loops To further confirm the effectiveness of corrosion control treatment and the City’s operations, it is recommended that the City construct, install, and monitor test loops of service line and plumbing materials. Instructions for construction, installation, and monitoring of these test loops can be obtained from the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (U.S. EPA) Office of Research and Development. Please contact Mr. Darren Lytle, Acting Branch Chief, at 512-569-7432 or [email protected]. Lead Service Line Verification Sampling The City has been reviewing customer service connection records in order to confirm customer service line materials at each connection. The U.S. EPA has developed a sampling procedure that can be used to help verify the presence of lead service lines and it is recommended that the City conduct this sampling at a selection of customer locations for this purpose. Information regarding this verification sampling can also be obtained from Mr. Lytle. Any water analysis for lead and copper is expected to be completed by a certified lab. Customer Household Exposure Assessment The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is continuing to conduct blood lead level testing for children in the City. Families with children found to have elevated blood lead levels will be asked to have an elevated blood lead level investigation conducted at their residence that will include a lead exposure assessment, including the contribution of lead
