Mayor’s Message / Upcoming Events
Thank you to everyone for approving the
millage in the last year. With a 25 percent
drop in property taxes, the additional mills
allowed us to continue with a healthy,
positive budget to maintain the city
services that we all enjoy. Our
family-friendly city is able to boast of increasing property
values and progress toward creating a growing and
sustainable community in this new year. New businesses
include the Social Security office, Peaktronics (electronics),
Suburban Group (vehicles), Body by Guilianna (fitness), Maple
Arcade (art studio/gallery), Trio Art Studio, Treasurable
Antiques, Village Shoe Inn, Krispy Chicken/Deputy Dogs,
Silver Shears Salon, Zip Tanz (tanning), Alice Huang Wellness
Center, Allstate Insurance, State Farm Insurance, Tropical
Smoothie Café, Foam and More (mattresses), Mojave Cantina
(restaurant) and an Auto-web realty group. Plans in this year
included contracting with Honeywell, an agency who provided
an energy efficient study for city buildings, exploring bike and
pedestrian crossings, an emergency plan and notification
system and continued sewer rehabilitation. We are seeing an
emergence of art in our community with the formation of an
art committee, the Clawson Cultural Foundation, and its many
plans including a Boogie Woogie Concert, a Dinner Theater
Mystery, Melodies Clash (battle of the bands) and Clawson Art
in the Park. It’s an explosion of art, in collaboration with
schools and businesses, to focus on our strengths and talents
each of us bring to life. People choose to lives in a place that
offers resources and opportunities to support thriving
lifestyles. That’s Clawson – the little city with a big heart. From
the various civic and community groups to dedicated staff –
I thank you for your work. It is an honor and privilege to serve
you. As always, we welcome meeting each and every one of
you at Coffee with Council the first Tuesday of each month
7 – 7.30 pm at City Hall. You are always welcome to attend a
committee meeting or become a volunteer-I’d be happy to
provide a list of volunteer opportunities for you!

City Information
City Ordinances to Remember This Summer
Pets in the Park
Help protect the welfare and safety of the community!
Let’s be responsible! Summer is here again and it’s time to
enjoy the outdoors and our city’s parks. Dogs are welcome,
though it is important that pet owners take measures to
ensure the safety and welfare of both their animals and the
public. As such, we want to remind residents to:
■ Please protect your dog from harm and respect your
neighbor’s rights by always leasing your dog. It is unlawful
for pets to be on any public property without an adequate
leash; and
■ Please be aware that it is your responsibility to pick-up
after your dog and dispose of waste properly. Always carry
a receptacle for clean-up, such as a plastic bag, to discard
litter. Our goal is to keep our parks clean and maintain a
pleasant environment for both dog owners and others.
Section 62-39: Burning
It shall be unlawful for any person to burn any garbage, food
containers, rubbish, leaves, waste or other material, except
for that allowed in Section 46-11 (see below).
Section 46-11: Exceptions to Prohibited Outdoor Burning
■ The use of an outdoor grill or barbeque is permitted,
provided when in use, a fire suppression device is nearby.
■ The open burning of fires, other than outdoor grilling of
food, is permitted under the following circumstances:
□ The fire is contained within an outdoor burning device,
such as a chimenea, commercial fire pit, fire bowl or
similarly-manufactured device;
□ The fire is within a pit located in the ground and
surrounded by brick tile or other materials at least eight
inches in height with a diameter no more than 48
inches;
□ The combustible material is untreated wood or charcoal;
□ The location of the fire is no less than 10 feet from any
structure and no less than 18 feet from any boundary
or property line;
□ The fire is attended at all times by an adult;
□ There is a fire suppression device nearby and available
for immediate use;
□ All fires must be extinguished by midnight and are not
allowed to smolder; and
□ A permit must be obtained from the City Clerk.
■ The required permit will be valid for five years from the
issued date and must be renewed upon expiration. The
current fee is $10 for a five year permit from the Clerk.
■ Any burning ordinance violation can result in: a 30-day
suspension of the permit for a first violation; a civil
infraction for a second violation and the imposition of the
cost of prosecution on a fire conducted without any
permit. Any fire extinguished by the fire department could
result in the assessment of costs against the owner or
occupant of the property of which the fire was located.
Dog Licenses
Dog licenses go on sale December 1st through November
30th of each year and are valid for one calendar year. The
prices below apply to dog licenses purchased December 1 st
through June 1st of each year. On June 3rd, Oakland County
dog licenses become $30 regardless if the dog is altered or if
the owner is a senior. The only exceptions to this fee are
puppies that just turned four months of age, newly-acquired
dogs or new residents to the area. Please bring your dog’s
valid Rabies Vaccination Certificate at time of purchase. You
may purchase three-year licenses through Oakland County or
the City if you have a valid three-year rabies shot.
$7.50 Neutered/Spayed for one-year license
$15
Male/Female Intact for one-year license
$6.75 Neutered/Spayed (Senior 65+) for one-year license

Property Appearance
Severe Weather Awareness Week
Please remember that these appearance ordinances go into
effect in April and will be enforced throughout the entire
summer.
Thunderstorms, windstorms, floods and
tornadoes are all forms of severe weather,
and each pose a threat to the safety and
well-being of Michigan citizens.
Section 86-71: Grass Height Limit
■ Property owners must keep their lawn under eight inches
tall. If the city has to intervene, the owner will be charged
for the time and labor of hiring a contractor.
Section 86-38: Sidewalk Maintenance
■ Property owners must keep bushes and trees trimmed
and maintained. Bushes cannot hang over any part of the
sidewalk and tree branches cannot hang less than eight
feet above the walk. If the city has to intervene, the owner
will be charged as above.
Because of this, Governor Rick Snyder
and County Executive L. Brooks Patterson
have declared the week of April 7-13 as
Severe Weather Awareness Week!
In an effort to promote tornado safety
preparedness, Clawson will conduct a
special test and activation of the outdoor
warning system on Wednesday, April 10 at 1pm.

Water Quality Report
CITY OF CLAWSON 2012 CONSUMERS ANNUAL REPORT ON WATER QUALITY
ATTENTION: THIS IS AN IMPORTANT REPORT ON WATER QUALITY AND SAFETY
The City of Clawson, The Southeastern Oakland County Water Authority and the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department
(DWSD) are proud of the fine drinking water they supply and are honored to provide this report to you. The 2012 Consumers
Annual Report on Water Quality shows the sources of our water, lists the results of our tests, and contains important
information about water and health. We will notify you immediately if there is ever any reason for concern about our water. We
are pleased to show you how we have surpassed water quality standards as mandated by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ).
About the System
The City of Clawson purchases water from the Southeastern Oakland County Water Authority (SOCWA) at three locations.
SOCWA provides Detroit water through its member distribution systems to a population of 210,000 within a 56 square mile
area. Current members are: Berkley, Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms, Birmingham, Clawson, Huntington Woods, Lathrup Village,
Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, Southfield and Southfield Township and to our customers Bloomfield Hills and Bloomfield
Township.
Your source water comes from the Detroit River (treated at the Springwells Plant), situated within Lake St. Clair, Clinton River,
Detroit River, Rouge River, Ecorse River, in the U.S. and parts of the Thames River, Little River, Turkey Creek and Sydenham
watersheds in Canada. The MDEQ in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department,
and the Michigan Public Health Institute performed a source water assessment in 2004 to determine the susceptibility of
potential contamination. The susceptibility rating is on a seven-tiered scale from “very low” to “very high” based primarily on
geologic sensitivity, water chemistry, and contaminant sources. The susceptibility of our Detroit River source water intakes
were determined to be highly susceptible to potential contamination. However, all four Detroit water treatment plants that use
source water from the Detroit River have historically provided satisfactory treatment of this source water to meet drinking
water standards.
DWSD has initiated source-water protection activities that include chemical containment, spill response, and a mercury
reduction program. DWSD participates in a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit discharge program and has
an emergency response management plan.
If you would like to know more information about this report or to obtain a complete copy, please contact your local water
department.
How Do We Know the Water is Safe to Drink?
Detroit Water and Sewerage Department facilities operate twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The treatment process
begins with disinfecting the source water with chlorine to kill harmful microorganisms that can cause illness. Next, a chemical
called Alum is mixed with the water to remove the fine particles that make the water cloudy or turbid. Alum causes the
particles to clump together and settle to the bottom. Fluoride is also added to protect our teeth from cavities and decay.
The water then flows through fine sand filters called beds. These filters remove even more particles and certain
microorganisms that are resistant to chlorine. Finally, a small amount of phosphoric acid and chlorine are added to the treated
water just before it leaves the treatment plant. The phosphoric acid helps control the lead that may dissolve in water from
household plumbing systems. The chlorine keeps the water disinfected as it travels through water mains to reach your home.
In addition to a carefully controlled and monitored treatment process, the water is tested for a variety of substances before
treatment, during various stages of treatment, and throughout the distribution system. Hundreds of samples are tested each
week in certified laboratories by highly qualified and trained staff. Our water not only meets safety and health standards, but
also ranks among the top 10 in the country for quality and value.
Additional Information
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in
water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants
in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health.
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and
wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in
some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
6
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
■Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems,
agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
■Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff,
industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
■Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff and
residential uses.
■Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organics, which are by-products of industrial processes and
petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff and septic systems.
■Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.
The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about
contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking
Water Hotline at 800-426-4791.
Detected Contaminants Tables
These tables are based on tests conducted by DWSD in the year 2011 or the most recent testing done within the last five (5)
calendar years. They conduct many tests throughout the year; however, only tests that show the presence of a contaminant
are shown here.

Important Health Information
Lead
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead
in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The City of
Clawson is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing
components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing
your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water,
you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to
minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
People With Special Health Concerns
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than is the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ
transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from
infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on
appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the
Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible
that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your
home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home’s water, you may wish to have your water
tested and flush your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using tap water. Additional information is available from the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

In addition to testing we are required to perform, our water system voluntarily tests for hundreds of additional substances and

Spanish for Toddlers is a Spanish-immersion program that uses the Montessori philosophy. It is one of the few schools in the

the language.

Additional Information
Know The Buzz About West Nile Virus
West Nile Virus (WNV) is a potentially serious illness.
Experts believe it is established as a seasonal epidemic in
North America that flares up in the summer and continues
into the fall. It can infect humans, birds, horses and some
other mammals. In a small number of people infected by
the virus, the disease can be serious, even fatal.
WNV is most often spread to humans by the bite of an
infected mosquito that gets infected by biting a bird
that carries the virus. Horses and other mammals bitten
by mosquitoes that carry the virus can also become
infected. Whenever mosquitoes are active there is a risk
of getting WNV. The risk is highest from late July
through September.
The best way to avoid WNV infection is to prevent mosquito bites:
■ Use insect repellent. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) recommends the use of insect repellents
containing active ingredients registered with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
■ Always follow manufacturer’s directions carefully, especially
when using on children.
■ Wear protective clothing such as long sleeved shirts and pants.
■ Limit outdoor activity between dusk and dawn when
mosquitoes are most active.
■ Avoid areas where mosquitoes may be present (i.e. shaded
and wooded areas).
■ Maintain window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out of
buildings.
■ Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water
that collects in birdbaths, boats, buckets, tires, unused pools,
roof gutters and other containers.
