Eagle Harbor Twp Budget 2008-2009 DRAFT (327kb) Eagle Harbor Water Test Results The Eagle Harbor Water System has tested positive in a few individual households for Copper. This contaminates is not coming from the aquifer but would appear to be related to corrosion at individual households. The Water department will be conducting additional testing and monitoring to try and identify the cause of the corrosion and make recommendations. A certain amount of metal absorption is normal depending on a number of factors including how long water sits undisturbed in pipes. The cause of the problem may be directly related to improper testing procedures and new tests are being performed to prove or eliminate this possibility. What we do know right now is that the PH is approximately 7.2 and the Alkalinity would appear to be within an acceptable range. None of this should be the cause of the corrosion. As we learn more we will share this information. If you have copper pipes used in your plumbing and a sensitivity to copper, or have young kids or are pregnant, it is recommended that you let your water run for a few minutes to flush any contaminates that might have accumulated in your plumbing prior to consumption. If you have any questions please talk to one of the Water Operators, the DPW Manager or any Township Board member.
