Source: ground water
Treatment: From the 2019 Annual Water Quality Report, "The Village of Northville draws its water from a ground water source. Groundwater or well water is stored below the surface of the earth in deep, porous rocks called “aquifers.” Groundwater is purified naturally as it filters through layers of soil, clay, rock and sand. This process, known as “percolation” takes years to complete. As a result, groundwater requires less treatment than surface water. We pump this groundwater out through our 2 wells; an 8” well and an 18” wells both equipped with 30HP pumps. The wells are run individually and alternated in their usage. Treatment of the raw water consists of the addition of chlorine in the form of sodium hypochlorite. It is added to the water for disinfection to protect against contamination from harmful bacteria and from other organisms. Soda ash is added to raise the pH and an inorganic phosphate blend is added for corrosion control. This serves to reduce lead and copper leaching into the water from residential water pipes and to help minimize corrosion in the water mains. We have two storage tanks with a combined storage capacity of 680,000 gallons to meet consumer demand and provide adequate fire protection. Much of the distribution system is made up of 4”, 6” and 8” cast iron mains. There are also some 6” and 8” asbestos mains in the distribution system. The water has been tested for asbestos and none has been detected. The distribution system is flushed twice a year. "
Daily Capacity: 99,282 gallons

Violations and Non-compliance History:
Recommendations made in data verification, distribution, management operation, finished water storage, source and treatment
Monitoring and Reporting Violation - Nitrate Rule - Reported from Jan 1 2024 to December 31 2024 - unaddressed
*Note that drinking water information provided on this site is aggregated from the federal EPA database, state resources and local government sources where available.
EPA publishes violation and enforcement data quarterly, based on the inspection reports of the previous quarter. Water systems, states and EPA take up to three months to verify this data is accurate and complete.
Specific questions about your local water supply should be directed to the facility.
The EPA safe drinking water facilities data available to the public presents what is known to the government based upon the most recently available information for more than one million regulated facilities. EPA and states inspect a percentage of facilities each year, but many facilities, particularly smaller ones, may not have received a recent inspection. It is possible that facilities do have violations that have not yet been discovered, thus are shown as compliant in the system.
EPA cannot positively state that facilities without violations shown in ECHO are necessarily fully compliant with environmental laws. Additionally, some violations at smaller facilities do not need to be reported from the states to EPA. If ECHO shows a recent inspection and the facility is shown with no violations identified, users of the ECHO site can be more confident that the facility is in compliance with federal programs.
The compliance status of smaller facilities that have not had recent inspections or review by EPA or the states may be unknown or only available via state data systems.
