Calling All Volunteers and River Enthusiasts...

Bloomfield Township and the Bloomfield Hills Schools have partnered together again to host this year’s Rouge Rescue Event on June 7, 2008 at the E. L. Johnson Nature Center. The fun begins at 9:00 AM and will last until roughly 12:00 PM. We hope to see you there!

Participants will have an opportunity to enjoy the grounds of the Nature Center through service projects and a lesson regarding the Benthic Macroinvertebrates (Bugs) living in the river bottom. Spend a Saturday learning about the Rouge River Watershed and more specifically, how our Township plays an important role as a headwaters community in the Main 1-2 Subwatershed.

Rouge Rescue is a joint effort sponsored by Friends of the Rouge, the local community and their volunteers. Residents, students, local businesses and Township subdivision and lake associations are always encouraged to get involved with water quality outreach programs to improve the conditions of our waterways.

To learn more about the June 7th event, please call Noah Mehalski, Engineering & Environmental Services Department at 248.594.2808. Check the Friends of the Rouge website to see what other events are taking place throughout the watershed.

Flood Mitigation Plan Grant

The Bloomfield Township Engineering & Environmental Services Department has successfully obtained a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the development of a flood mitigation plan. Recent changes in FEMA grant administration requires that eligible communities have a Flood Mitigation Plan before applying for any additional FEMA funding. The mitigation plan is a demonstration of the Township’s commitment to reducing risks from natural hazards and will serve as a guide for future efforts. The plan components include: 1) property inventory, 2) flood risk assessment, 3) risk reduction alternatives, and 4) potential mitigation projects. This grant project is a great opportunity to address flood-related issues and opens up resources for future funding to mitigate them.

Drinking Water Testing: Disinfectant Byproducts Monitoring

Drinking Water Testing: Disinfectant Byproducts Monitoring In 2006, the USEPA will be implementing the Stage 2 Disinfectant and Disinfection Byproducts  (DBP) Rule for drinking water distribution systems. The Township began water sampling in September 2005 in order to prepare for the new rule and to seek compliance in advance of the new mandated regulation. Water samples are drawn from four locations on the water distribution system and tested at the State of Michigan Laboratory in Lansing.  The water samples are tested for high concentrations of total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5) that are by-products of chemicals used in disinfecting the drinking water at the treatment plant. The purpose of the testing is to assure that levels do not accumulate at the farthest reaches of the distribution system. Based upon test results from the 2005 quarterly samplings the Township’s drinking water, we are in compliance with the USEPA regulation.  For more information on the quality of your drinking water, please see our Annual Water Quality Report
