Facility Name Allen Park Mobile Crt
PWSID 6204112
Reason for Advisory Contamination
Advisory CHILDREN UNDER NINE SHOULD BE PROVIDED WITH ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF DRINKING WATER OR WATER THAT HAS BEEN TREATED TO REMOVE FLUORIDE
Facility Address 24521 W Reservation Rd
District NWDO
Facility Type Community
Population Category Less than 250
Service Area Mobile Home Park
Facility Contact Bobbi Swick
Facility Phone 419-346-2822
Contaminant Fluoride
Contaminant Group Inorganic Chemicals (IOCs)
Public Notice Template Tier3_fluorideSMCL.pdf
Fact Sheet Fluoride Fact Sheet
Standard MCL = 4 mg/l and Secondary MCL = 2 mg/l
Major Sources Erosion of natural deposits; Water additive which promotes strong teeth; Discharge from fertilizer and aluminum factories
Health Effects Some people who drink water containing fluoride in excess of the MCL over many years could get bone disease, including pain and tenderness of the bones. Fluoride in drinking water at half the MCL or more may cause mottling of children’s teeth, usually in children less than nine years old. Mottling, also known as dental fluorosis, may include brown staining and/or pitting of the teeth, and occurs only in developing teeth before they erupt from the gums.
Advisory Begin Date 3/15/2005
Details and Recent Results Sample collected on August 20, 2004 had 2.08 mg/L fluoride. Proof of public notice received April 22, 2008.
History The water system is required to test the finished water for fluoride every three years.
Status The water system historically has natural fluoride levels above 2.0 mg/L. The system is required public notice annually, but is not required to install treatment to reduce the anount of fluoride in the water.

Contaminant Total Coliform Bacteria
Contaminant Group Microbiological
Public Notice Template Tier1_TCR_norepeats.pdf
Fact Sheet Total Coliform Bacteria Fact Sheet
Standard MCL = confirmed presence of total coliform bacteria or failure to collect required repeat samples
Major Sources Naturally present in the environment
Health Effects Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems.
Advisory Begin Date 10/31/2008
Details and Recent Results A total coliform sample collected 10-15-08 was found to be positive for total coliform. The repeat samples were not collected as required.
History The system had failure to monitor for total coliform violations during the July-Sept '05, Oct-Dec '05, and Oct-Dec '06 calendar quarters.
Status System closed for the season. A set of four negative repeat total coliform samples and five routine samples will be required prior to opening for the 2009 season.

Major Sources By-product of drinking water chlorination
Health Effects Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
