Water Monitoring Program

Quality Water
WMS draws all of its water from the Detroit River. The water is pumped directing into our water settling basin.  The settling basin is the first step in a multi-step process to obtain clean, safe potable water for our community.

Water Monitoring Program
All of the water pumped from the river goes to our settling basin where solids are removed and then pumped into the water filtration plant, where three-fourths of the hardness is removed. The water is tested for contaminants, filtered, and distributed through underground mains under pressure to our customers. The maintenance of that pressure ensures that when leaks occur, the leakage is of conditioned water out of the main, not of dirty water into the main.

By conditioning the water, WMS is able to stabilize the water brought to your tap. In maintaining consistency in the conditioned water, we offer you the ability to tailor the water to your use. A Typical Analysis, while not representing actual results at any particular time, gives you an idea of what ranges you might expect for a variety of chemical measurements.
