items of information:

1. A brief description on the source or sources of the water supply
and the general qualitative and quantitative condition of the water

4. The analytical testing results for those constituents required to
be tested for under part five of the state sanitary code or as required
by appropriate local health units, except for microbiological results,
for each source of water.

Where more than one analysis per year is conducted on a specific
constituent, the water works corporation shall list the range of results
from highest to lowest during the reporting period. The applicable state
guideline, standard, or MCL for each constituent present shall be listed
and any instance where a state guideline, standard, or MCL is violated
shall be noted.

For microbiological analyses as required by part five of the state
sanitary code, the water works corporation shall indicate any instance
where the water supply violated the MCL. The date or dates of violation,
the location where the violation occurred, and the response of the water
works corporation shall be listed.

5. A brief description of the types of treatment that the water
receives before entering the distribution system.

groundwater sources, supply wells. For the purposes of this subdivision,
"water sources" shall not include water mains or other types of
conveyance infrastructure.

7. Information on water conservation measures customers can implement
such as, but not limited to, retrofitting plumbing fixtures, altering

of water-conserving appliances, daily conscientious use of water, and
the estimated savings in water and energy or money from the use of such
measures.

8. A description of the risks associated with exposure to
cryptosporidium parvum or giardia lamblia for specific at-risk
populations and the general public and measures that at-risk populations
