Tick Seasonal Awareness

It is important to know the risks when it comes to ticks. Several kinds of ticks will bite people and pets, and some can carry dangerous bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Not all tick bites will make you sick, but tick-borne diseases do occur in Michigan, and can be serious or fatal if not properly treated.

Spring Well Maintenance

Private residential well owners, do you check for cracks and openings on your wellhead and well cap several times a year?  

As the weather warms up, remember to check and maintain your well to ensure safe drinking water for you and your family. A wellhead and well cap keep polluted rainwater, insects, and small animals from getting into the well. If these get in, it can make your water unhealthy.
