Frequently Asked Questions for Water in Milan, Michigan
Is Milan tap water safe to drink?
Yes, Milan’s tap water meets state and federal safety standards. The most recent report showed no violations for regulated contaminants.
However, trace contaminants were detected, including nitrate at 0.13 ppm, fluoride at 0.58 ppm, total trihalomethanes up to 75 ppb, haloacetic acids at 7.13 ppb, chlorine residual at 0.63 ppm, alpha emitters at 0.07 pCi/L, and combined radium at 1.17 pCi/L. While these are within regulatory limits, some homeowners still choose filtration for added peace of mind.
Is Milan’s water hard?
Yes, Milan’s water is likely hard because it comes from groundwater wells. Groundwater often contains naturally occurring minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron that can contribute to scale buildup, spotting, dry skin, and reduced appliance efficiency.
Does Milan’s water contain PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)?
Milan’s water report includes PFAS testing, and the listed PFAS compounds were not detected. This included HFPO-DA, PFBS, PFHxS, PFHxA, PFNA, PFOS, and PFOA. No PFAS violations were reported. Even with non-detect results, some homeowners still choose reverse osmosis or advanced carbon filtration systems for added protection.
Does Milan add fluoride to its water?
Yes, Milan’s water contains fluoride at 0.58 ppm. The report notes fluoride can come from natural deposits and water additives that help promote strong teeth.
What other contaminants are in Milan’s water?
Water quality testing detected several trace contaminants, including:
- Nitrate (0.13 ppm)
- Fluoride (0.58 ppm)
- Sodium (22 ppm)
- Total Trihalomethanes or TTHMs (up to 75 ppb)
- Haloacetic Acids or HAA5 (7.13 ppb)
- Chlorine residual (0.63 ppm)
- Alpha emitters (0.07 pCi/L)
- Combined radium (1.17 pCi/L)
- Lead (90th percentile of 5 ppb, with 1 sample above the action level)
- Copper (0.2 ppm)
Where does Milan get its water?
Milan’s water comes from four groundwater wells located throughout the city. Water from each well is pumped to the city’s treatment plant, where air is introduced to oxidize iron. The water then passes through filters to remove iron before being disinfected and sent into the distribution system.
Should I use a water filter or softener in Milan?
Yes, many Milan homeowners benefit from whole-house water filters, reverse osmosis systems, and water softeners. These systems can help reduce hard water effects, improve taste, and address trace contaminants that may still be present even when water meets regulatory standards.
Does Milan water have a high total dissolved solids (TDS) level?
The report does not list a specific TDS level, but Milan’s groundwater source contains dissolved minerals such as sodium, iron, and naturally occurring mineral compounds. These minerals can affect taste, scaling, and overall water feel.
Where can I get a local water quality report?
You can access the latest water quality information through the City of Milan.
The Proof
Why Do Milan
Homeowners LOVE Us?
Our sinks and shower used to constantly show spots and scale. After getting a system installed, cleaning is easier and everything stays looking better longer.
The water used to have a slight taste that we didn’t love. Now it’s clean and refreshing, and we don’t think twice about drinking it straight from the tap.
The team made everything simple from start to finish. They helped us choose the right setup, and we’ve seen a big improvement in both water quality and pressure.
