Water Quality Snapshot: GLADSTONE

GLADSTONE is a local-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 4,632 residents in GLADSTONE, Michigan (Delta County) through 2,163 service connections. Its water is drawn from surface water sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 48 total violations for this system , of which 8 (17%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 40 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2023.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is TTHM, recorded in 8 violations (MCL, health-based). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 1 PFAS compound was detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 0.011 ppt. PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.

Across Michigan, EPA tracks 10,959 public water systems serving 9,098,093 people, with 255,201 cumulative violations and 31,467 health-based violations on record. About 86% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 23.3 violations. GLADSTONE's 48 violations sit above the Michigan average. Statewide, 87 of 318 UCMR5-tested systems have reported PFAS detections (27.4%). All figures above are sourced directly from EPA SDWIS and UCMR5 public data releases and are updated as EPA publishes new reporting cycles.
