CADILLAC â Less than two days after the City of Cadillac issued a boil water notice, it was lifted.
On Wednesday, July 21, the cityâs utility department issued a boil water notice after a water main broke on Sixth Avenue. The Cadillac Utilities Department worked to fix the break and ensure drinking water was safe. When it was determined there could be contamination due to the break a boil water notice was enacted.
On Friday, the bacterial testing results were negative and the cityâs water was deemed safe to drink. As a result of those testing results coming back negative, the boil water notice was removed immediately and is no longer necessary.
CADILLAC â As officials dug their golden shovels into the soil, Cadillac s somewhat unusual plan to build a third wellfield is officially underway.
When the project is complete next summer, the city s oldest wellfield will go offline, as it s being threatened by contamination.
The city never wants to be in this position again, so leaders decided to build two new wellfields, one on Crosby Road (it s been up and running for the better part of a decade) and a second on East 44 Road.
The second new wellfield provides, ideally, a fail-safe; if anything were to go wrong at Crosby Road (or vice versa), the city has another wellfield that can stay up and running.
