Waterford Waterworks — 2013 Consumer Confidence Report Data
Water System Information
If you would like to know more about the information contained in
this report, please contact Jeff Dolezal at (262) 534-4069.
Opportunity for input on decisions on water
The Utilities meeting occurs on the third Monday of each month at
4:00 PM @ 123 North River Street inside the Waterford Village Hall.
Health Information
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 (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking
water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons
such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who
have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other
immune systems 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 Environmental Protection Agency's safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
Source(s) of Water
chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum
production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the
result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by
public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants
in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public
health.

Jeff Dolezal at (262) 534-4069.
Educational Information
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.
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 stormwater 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 stormwater runoff and residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic
MRDL
Definition
Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if
exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a
water system must follow.
Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the
MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
million fibers per liter
Maximum residual disinfectant level: The highest level of a
disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing
evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control
of microbial contaminants.
Maximum residual disinfectant level goal: The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or exMRDLG
pected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of
the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

Additional Health Information
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. Waterford Waterworks 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
www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Information on Monitoring for
Cryptosporidium and Radon
Our water system did not monitor our water for cryptosporidium
or radon during 2013. We are not required by State or Federal
drinking water regulations to do so.

The DOA Who Made It*
Tuesday, September 9th, 6:00 p.m.
So... is there life after death? Ask Dave
Miles, the “DOA Who Made It!” Dave
was stopped at a busy intersection, waiting
for a green light, when a “dead drunk” 54
year old man rear-ended him at almost 50
mph. He flew, while convulsing, three
stories high, then crushed onto the roof of
the car that just hit him, slid down the
windshield and “sailed” almost a hundred
feet across that intersection, where he lay
face down and “stone dead.” Repeated
attempts to revive him finally got a pulse
to stay. Hospital staff repeatedly told his
young wife that he would NOT survive
much longer. But he did — lying in a
coma for two weeks. When he was finally
conscious he had a lot to say about “the
other side” of this life. This program is free.

District in 2010. The book explores the close
and interesting relationship between two of
the oldest franchises in NFL history - the
New York Giants and the Green Bay
Packers. The rivalry was renewed this past
year on November 17th. Rice will bring us
up to date on the fascinating history between

1:30 p.m. — Great Duck Raffle, 10 Club Park
The first area to consider is grass cutting. Our village
ordinance 95-2 states that grass and/or noxious weeds
cannot be over 12 inches in height. Upon receiving a
complaint, we head to the area in question, take pictures, measure the grass/weed height, and send out a
letter of ordinance violation if the criteria meets the
standard to be a violation. The letter states grass/
weeds must be cut within 10 days and a date to comply
to the ordinance is given. After the 10 days a third party service is called
in to cut the grass/weeds at the owner’s expense. If the property falls
into violation again at any time during the rest of the year, the mowing
service returns without notification and citations may be issued.

7:00 p.m. — Muskego Waterbugs Ski Show
Dusk after show — Tichigan Lake Fireworks
Fireworks Ordinance
Definitions:
Chipping trees and brush is another area of concern. Every Monday
from April 1 to October 31 we chip brush alternating east and west sides
of the village. During the winter months there is no brush chipping.
During the normal chipping months all trees and brush should be placed
at the back of the curb laid stump end facing the street. The limbs
should be no bigger than 4 inches in diameter. Keep branches in multiple piles instead of one large one. We can chip faster this way as chipping stops are limited to 15 minutes. Trees with root balls (dirt clumps)
still attached must have the root ball cut off. Root balls quickly destroy
blades in the chipper.
Statutory Fireworks — Anything manufactured, processed or packaged for exploding, emitting sparks or
combustions which does not have another common
use, inclusive of pyrotechnics.
Novelty Fireworks — toy snakes, sparklers and caps,
confetti or streamer spray device, fuseless device designed to produce noise or visual effects that contain no
more than 1/4 grain of explosive mixture.
No person may possess, use or sell statutory fireworks
in the Village.
The last yard maintenance consideration deals with grass clippings,
leaves, branches, trash, or any other yard waste. Blowing or placing in
the street may create safety hazards and is prohibited by Village ordinance 186-5. Yard waste should not be placed on the curb for garbage
pickup. Take all yard waste, bushes or root balls to the DPW “permitrequired” dump site, 801 Ela Ave. Annual permits can be purchased for
$20 at Village Hall. Visit our website, vi.waterford.wi.gov for a complete
schedule or pick one up at Village Hall. See below for the 3rd Quarter schedule
of garbage pick-up/yard waste drop-off.
No person may sell novelty fireworks, or store or possess novelty fireworks for other than personal use, without a permit from the Village.
For more information on Village ordinances regarding
fireworks, search the Municipal Code on the village
website: vi.waterford.wi.gov.

ABSOLUTELY WATERFORD
It is our mission to develop Waterford’s unique identity while keeping with its rich history, and to promote the
revitalization of the charming downtown Heritage District.
Our River Market season is in full swing!
Absolutely Waterford proudly launched its first
season of the Waterford River Market May 24,
welcoming neighbors and visitors to shop fresh
and local.
104 E. Main St.
(262) 534–9000
Are you a believer in the
importance of a thriving
downtown that celebrates
local history, culture and
commerce? We are always
seeking volunteers who
are passionate about
building our community.
Our focus is on the
Downtown Heritage
District, where it all
began. Visit our webpage
or contact us to
learn more about
how you can help.
Located in Village Hall Park, along the scenic
banks of the Fox River, the 2014 River Market
takes place Saturdays through October, boasting a variety of friendly producers offering
goods from their local gardens, greenhouses,
fields and barns.
Supporting the market keeps dollars in the
community!
Here’s a glimpse at our producers
and their offerings:
River Market patrons browse a variety of handmade soaps
and lotions from Nature’s Niche, one of several local
producers offering up a variety of fresh-from-the-earth goods
at Village Hall Park.
AW is organized around
the National Main Street
Center’s (NMSC) criteria.
The National Trust for
Historic Preservation
established the National
Main Street Center in
1980 to assist nationwide
downtown revitalization
efforts. The Wisconsin
Main Street Program is
based on the Trust’s
philosophy, which
advocates restoration
of the historic character
of downtown while
pursuing traditional
development strategies.
It’s not too late for vendors to join.
Events take place at Village Hall Park behind
the library, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Booth space is
available at $15 for daily use. Rates remain low
in part due to funds donated by Runzheimer
Foundation and Friends of Martini Mo’z.
For more information, visit
www.WaterfordRiverMarket.org or look for
Sueanne, River Market Manager, at the market.
