Land Area
Water Area
Land area is a measurement providing the size, in square miles, of the land portions of geographic entities for which the Census Bureau tabulates and disseminates data. Area is calculated from the specific boundary recorded for each entity in the Census Bureau's geographic database. Land area is based on current information in the TIGER® data base, calculated for use with Census 2010.
Water Area figures include inland, coastal, Great Lakes, and territorial sea water. Inland water consists of any lake, reservoir, pond, or similar body of water that is recorded in the Census Bureau's geographic database. It also includes any river, creek, canal, stream, or similar feature that is recorded in that database as a two- dimensional feature (rather than as a single line). The portions of the oceans and related large embayments (such as Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound), the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea that belong to the United States and its territories are classified as coastal and territorial waters; the Great Lakes are treated as a separate water entity. Rivers and bays that empty into these bodies of water are treated as inland water from the point beyond which they are narrower than 1 nautical mile across. Identification of land and inland, coastal, territorial, and Great Lakes waters is for data presentation purposes only and does not necessarily reflect their legal definitions.

City of Flint Distribution System Monitoring Data
data.michigan.gov | Last Updated 2022-05-13T12:00:19.000ZThe City of Flint purchases treated water from the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) and the Genesee County Drain Commissioner (GCDC) and provides further treatment to optimize corrosion control. • Data collected from the City's distribution system helps us know whether the treatment process is working correctly • Some data in the table is informational only • Some data shows whether target ranges for pH, orthophosphate, chlorine, and iron are being met. Other testing that EGLE is doing for the City of Flint is Lead and Copper Sequential Sampling. The four categories shown on the previous page (pH, Orthophosphate, Iron, and Chlorine) are main indicators of whether the City's corrosion control treatment is working properly. In 2017 EGLE set required ranges for pH and orthophosphate. An expanded dataset is available. Visit Michigan.gov/FlintWater for more information.

Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) Monitoring Data
data.michigan.gov | Last Updated 2022-05-13T11:58:19.000ZPublic water systems sample for many different water quality indicators, also known as parameters, every day to help ensure the safety of your drinking water. The data shown in the tables below helps the City of Flint make decisions about the best way to treat the water. If more than one sample is collected per day at a particular location, the average or range of all daily samples may be shown. This table shows water quality data for the GLWA water system. The City will use this data to make treatment decisions when the GLWA is supplying water to the City of Flint. For more information, visit Michigan.gov/FlintWater

Sequential Sampling - City of Flint
data.michigan.gov | Last Updated 2022-05-27T13:22:53.000ZA building's plumbing system and water service line (pipes) can be made up of different types of materials. Each type of material can affect drinking water differently, so it is useful to conduct what is known as "sequential sampling". Sequential sampling is where all water usage in a building is stopped for several hours, known as "stagnation". Next, water is collected from the faucet in a series of bottles. This is done without wasting any water or running the water before filling the bottles. The first few bottles represent water that was in contact with the faucet or building plumbing during stagnation. The later bottles represent water that was in contact with the water service line. These sample results can help decide whether treatment is working. Learn more at Michigan.gov/FlintWater

Beach Lab Data
data.cityofchicago.org | Last Updated 2024-09-04T19:00:17.000ZThe Chicago Park District collects and analyzes water samples from beaches along Chicago’s Lake Michigan lakefront. The Chicago Park District partners with the University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Public Health Laboratory to analyze water samples using a new DNA testing method called Rapid Testing Method (qPCR analysis) which tests for Enterococci in order to monitor swimming safety. The rapid testing method (qPCR analysis) is a new method that measures levels of pathogenic DNA in beach water. Unlike the culture based test that requires up to 24 hours of processing, the new rapid testing method requires a 4-5 hours for results. The Chicago Park District can use results of the rapid test to notify the public when levels exceed UPEPA recommended levels, which is 1000* CCE. When DNA bacteria levels exceed 1000 CCE, a yellow swim advisory flag is implemented. For more information please refer to the USEPA Recreational Water Quality Criteria (http://water.epa.gov/scitech/swguidance/standards/criteria/health/recreation). Historically, the Chicago Park District used the culture based analysis method and statistical prediction models to monitor beach water quality. The culture based method tests for Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria which is an indicator species for the presence of disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and protozoans that may pose health risks to the public. This method requires 18-24 hours of processing to receive results. The Chicago Park District would use results of the culture based method to notify the public when levels exceed UPEPA recommended levels, which is 235* CFU. When bacteria levels exceed 235 CFU, a yellow swim advisory flag was implemented. This standard is still used at most beaches throughout the Great Lakes region. For more information please refer to the USEPA Recreational Water Quality Criteria. The statistical prediction model forecasted real-time Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria levels present in the water. The Chicago Park District (CPD) in partnership with the US Geological Survey, developed statistical prediction models by using weather data pulled from CPD buoys (https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/qmqz-2xku) and weather stations (https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/k7hf-8y75). The Chicago Park District would use results of the predictive model to notify the public when bacteria levels would exceed 235 CFU. When bacteria levels exceed 235 CFU, a yellow swim advisory flag was implemented. * The unit of measurement for Escherichia coli is Colony Forming Units (CFU) per 100 milliliters of water. (Culture Based Method / Statistical Prediction Model) *The unit of measuring DNA is Enterococci Calibrator Cell Equivalents (CCE) per 100 milliliters of water. (Rapid Testing Analysis)
