Consumer Confidence Reports
YCUA’s annual Consumer Confidence Report contains important information about the source and quality of your drinking water. This report follows the guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy. Our goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable water supply. This report illustrates that we are achieving our goal. This report is published on our website after June 1 of each year. If you would like to receive a paper copy of the report delivered, or if you want additional copies, please call YCUA Administration at 734.484.4600 ext. 107. Please click on the link below for the current and previous reports.

Lead and Copper
Safe drinking water is a shared responsibility. The water that GLWA delivers to our community does not contain lead. Lead can leach into drinking water through home plumbing fixtures, and in some cases, customer service lines. Corrosion control reduces the risk of lead and copper from leaching into your water. Orthophosphates are added during the treatment process as a corrosion control method to create a protective coating in service pipes throughout the system, including in your home or business. YCUA performs required lead and copper sampling and testing in our community. Water consumers also have a responsibility to maintain the plumbing in their homes and businesses and can take steps to limit their exposure to lead.
Exposure to lead can cause behavior problems and learning disabilities in young children and can also affect the health of adults. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) limits lead levels in your drinking water. YCUA's water quality continues to meet the requirements of Michigan's revised Lead and Copper Rule (LCR), the most stringent in the nation. In 2019, YCUA's Water System Advisory Council (WSAC) was formed to advise and assist with the creation of materials and outreach plans to educate our community about lead in drinking water and inform owners whose service lines may need replacement.

Lead Service Lines & Inventory
YCUA has made it a standard practice to replace all non-copper water service piping as part of all water main projects. The Authority is in the process of completing a materials inventory of the public and privately owned portions of water service lines. YCUA has historical data on the publicly owned portion and is now in the process of gathering data on the privately owned portion of the service lines. Data on service line material will be collected as part of our "Get the Lead Out" program, focused on finding and replacing any remaining lead service lines beginning in 2021.
