Alma Water Distribution, located in Alma, MI, is responsible for the distribution of drinking water to the residents of the city. The water is sourced from the Gratiot Area Water Authority, which operates a lime-softening plant and six wells to treat and supply up to 6 million gallons of water per day. While efforts are made to prevent it, occasional instances of discolored water may occur due to various factors such as fire hydrant use or power failures. The company also manages the Water Treatment Plant sludge ponds, where sludge from the softening process and silt from river water treatment are deposited. Low water pressure may be experienced at times, which can be attributed to heavy water usage, water main breaks, or scale build-up in home plumbing. Alma Water Distribution ensures the quality of drinking water by adhering to the standards set by the Safe Drinking Water Act and regularly submitting reports to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy for evaluation.
