Water Testing Results – Copper

Posted on by meggen

The City of Perry conducts routine testing of tap water in homes for lead and copper.  We recently collected samples from 10 homes. Two homes had copper results above the Action Level.

The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) evaluates compliance with the Action Level based on the 90th percentile of lead and copper results collected in each round of sampling. The “Action Level” is a measure of corrosion control effectiveness. An “Action Level exceedance” means that more than 10% of the homes tested have results over 1.3ppm.

The copper 90th percentile for the City’s water supply is 2.2 parts per million (ppm), which exceeds the Action Level of 1.3 ppm. 

The Action Level exceedance is not a violation, but triggers additional actions including:

  • educational outreach to customers,
  • increased sampling every six months,
  • an assessment of corrosion control.

Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services has provided these resources regarding the results:

In the coming months, DPW will be collecting samples from 20 homes within the community. If you receive a sample collection kit, it’s necessary to follow all instructions and fill out the paperwork completely. Your cooperation is appreciated. The Department of Public Works can be reached at 517-625-4500.

If you have questions about how copper gets into drinking water, the Safe Drinking Water Act or the lead and copper rules, please call EGLE – General number: 800-662-9278.

If you have questions about health-related concerns or the enclosed fact sheet, please call DHHS – MDHHS Drinking Water Hotline – 844-934-1315.

If you have health-related concerns, please call Shiawassee County Health Department – Environmental Health Main Line – 989-743-2390.

Notice of Special Meeting – Ordinance Open Forum

Posted on by meggen

Pursuant to Section 5.3(b) of the Perry City Charter, I as City Clerk am calling a Special Ordinance – Open Forum meeting at the request of the Mayor.  This Special Ordinance Open Forum meeting will be held at the Perry City Hall, 203 W. Polly St., Perry, in the council chambers on Thursday, September 12, 2024 at 7:00 pm.

The purpose of this meeting will be:

  1. Open discussion with the public regarding Zoning Ordinance Chapter 3, Section 3.30 Animals in Residential and Agricultural Districts within the City of Perry.
  • The current ordinance does not allow chickens within any of the residential districts of the City. As a result of requests from a number of city residents that the ordinance be amended to allow for chickens in the city’s residential areas, the Ordinance Committee and City Council is seeking input from all residents to allow for the most informed response to this ordinance amendment request.

Residents unable to attend may submit questions/concerns in writing to the address above or via email to shammond@perry.mi.us or llambert@perry.mi.us

Shirley Smith, Perry City Clerk
