Annual Water Quality
Copies of SD #4's Consumer Confidence Report is available at
town hall. This report is designed to inform you, the
customer, about the water that is being supplied through
your water utility. Check out the information that was
gathered in the 2006
Consumer Confidence Report.
Also available is the 2005
Consumer Confidence Report.
Sprinkling Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to ALL our water
customers and are in effect at all times throughout the
year. Odd-numbered property addresses are permitted to
sprinkle only on odd-numbered days of the moth and only
between the hours of 6:00 pm and 8:00 am. Odd-numbered
day is determined by whatever day of the month it is at 6:00
pm and carries through to 8:00 am the following day.
The same holds true for even-numbered property addresses on
even-numbered days.
Renewal of Private Well Permits
The Sanitary District will be sending notices for
2007 permit renewals the first week of April, along with the
necessary information, to property owners telling them that
it is time to either renew their private well permits or
abandon their well. The renewal packet will consist of three
items:
If you would like to know if your property will need to
have its well permit renewed this year, the Well
Permit Renewal Required 2007 is listed by tax key
number.
Although the renewal requires you to have another
inspection of your well, you will have to submit
certification of only one safe water sample rather than the
two safe water samples that were required with your initial
permit. Because the Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
holds the water utility responsible for enforcing the
permit/abandonment program for private wells, we are
especially grateful for your cooperation. Each year
during our annual inspection, the DNR gives us high marks
for our efforts and work with the program and that would not
be possible without your cooperation. If you have any
questions regarding the renewal of your private well permit,
contact the Sanitary District at 262-798-8631.
Change of Address Form
Some residents leave the town for extended
vacations or have winter homes away from their permanent
address. In this case, billing and all other SD#4
information can be forwarded to your temporary
address. Fill out the Temporary
Change of Address Form and SD #4 will be able to get you
current information in a timely fashion.
To All Sanitary Sewer Customers
Mercury Removal & Chloride Reduction Resources has
enacted regulations to reduce the discharge of mercury and
chlorides "at the source", to prevent the harmful
effects these pollutants have on the environment.
Consequently, the Brookfield sewage treatment plant (where
Sanitary District No. 4's sewage is treated), is seeking
voluntary mercury removal and chloride use reduction
activities from all industrial, commercial and residential
sources. We have brochures: “Water Softeners and The
Environment” and “The Waukesha County Mercury Collection
Program” available at the Town Hall.
Mercury
Mercury is an extremely toxic, non-degrading substance in
the environment. As an environmental contaminant, mercury
travels far and wide in air and water. Mercury poisoning has
been linked to nervous system, kidney, and liver damage, and
impaired childhood development. What can you do to reduce
mercury in your wastewater? Remove mercury at the source by
bringing your mercury to a hazardous waste or authorized
mercury collection site. Mercury can be found in electrical
switches, thermostats, fluorescent lights, thermometers,
blood pressure gauges, chemical reagents and cleaners. Do
not pour mercury down the drain and do not place it in the
trash. Please call Waukesha County at (262)896-8327, or go
to www.waukeshacounty.gov/recycling
for more information.
Chloride
The DNR is requiring the Brookfield treatment plant to
identify significant sources of chloride discharged to the
sewer system. State regulation NR211.40 authorizes publicly
owned sewage treatment works to regulate chloride discharges
from all sources. Voluntary source reduction efforts will be
sought from any significant dischargers. What you do to
reduce chloride in your wastewater? A major origin of
chloride discharge is water softeners and water softening
processes. Source reduction efforts include using the
minimum salt dosage required during softener regeneration.
This is easily accomplished with the use of a regeneration
type softener.
Wastewater Assessment
The Town of Brookfield and the town engineers have
completed the Wastewater
Assessment for 2005 complete with aerial photos and
maps. Check it out and comment.
