Type II Water Supplies
Type II supplies are those which have not less than 15 service connections or which serve not less than 25 individuals on an average daily basis not less than 60 days out of the year.  The Environmental Health (EH) Division contracts with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to enforce the Type II water supply program.  This contract requires a sanitary survey be conducted every five years on Type II, non-community supplies, and that sampling parameters and frequencies are defined for each supply.  A survey determines if well construction, location, and distribution system comply with Michigan's Safe Drinking Water Act, Act 399, P.A. 1976.  There are currently 56 Type II, non-community supplies in Marquette County.
