                  Manitowoc Public Utilities recently released its Consumer Confidence Report for the calendar year 2002.  The report, mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), details MPU’s water sources, the results of ongoing water tests, and how those tests compared to regulatory standards.

                  In 2002, MPU delivered nearly 3.1 billion gallons of water to customers in the City of Manitowoc.  The Utility tested for over 50 different organic and inorganic contaminants and did not detect levels exceeding federal water quality standards.

                  Copies of MPU’s 2002 Consumer Confidence Report are available at MPU’s business office, or can be viewed on the Utility’s web site at
