2008 Consumer Confidence Report for
43604264 - CLEVELAND WATERWORKS

Water System Information

If you would like to know more about the information contained in this report, please contact Steve Simons at 920-693-8236.

The Village Board meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at Village Hall. Village Hall is located at 1150 West Washington Avenue, Cleveland WI, 53015.

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).

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 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.

Number of Contaminants Required to be Tested

This table displays the number of contaminants that were required to be tested in the last five years. The CCR may contain up to five years worth of water quality results. If a water system tests annually, or more frequently, the results from the most recent year are shown on the CCR. If testing is done less frequently, the results shown on the CCR are from the past five years.

Additional Health Information

While your drinking water meets USEPA's standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. USEPA's standard balances the current understanding of arsenic's possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. USEPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.

Corrective Actions Taken

None

Additional Information

As can be seen by reviewing the tables, our water system had no violations. We are proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds Federal and State drinking water standards. If you have any questions or concerns, you are encouraged to attend a Village Board meeting. Copies of this report are available at Village Hall or on the internet at www.dnr.state.wi.us.

Water & Sewer Rates

NOTICE OF RATE INCREASE
CUSTOMERS OF THE CLEVELAND WATER AND SEWER UTILITIES

This is to give you notice the Cleveland Water Utility and the Cleveland Sewer Utility have approved rate increases. Rates for general service for the Sewer Utility will increase 6% percent effective March 26, 2010, and the Water Utility will increase 3.8% effective March 26, 2010.  The utilities have experienced significant emergency repairs and maintenance costs which have negatively impacted the utilities’ financial positions.  The increases are necessary to reduce the existing deficiencies in present rates. The effect of both increases for some selected customers is shown below.
