Union Township (MI) Water Quality

Union Township is a large public water system in EPA region 5 that provides tap water for the 48858 zip codes. It has 5 facilities where the water supply was tested for 72 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of 2-methoxyethanol was 26.3 µg/L. Some (1 of 5 or 20%) of the latest water samples showed levels of 2-methoxyethanol that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 5.6 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 110 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the Union Township water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 1 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
