Water and Sewer Services
As a resident of Pinckney, you are most likely
provided with with sanitary sewer and water services. Properties may
vary - some have sewer service only, or water only, but the majority of
residences have both. Pinckney uses a lagoon system for sanitary sewer
processing. This consists of settling ponds, aerators, treatments and
sand beds that remove solids and contaminants before discharging the
remaining treated wastewater. State of Michigan regulations on the
levels of sodium, phosphorous and other checmicals that can be
discharged are strictly followed, and the Village consistently meets
these stringent
requirements.
Pinckney's water is pumped from wells and treated before being piped to residences and businesses. Fluoride levels are 0.3 mg/L. Despite treatment, you will find that Village water is high in iron and quite hard (299 mg/L). A water softener is recommended, since hard water can be destructive to surfaces and appliances. However, Village of Pinckney ordinance #48 states that all water softeners must be disconnected from the sanitary sewer system, and discharged into a drywell or similar device. The Department of Public Works can help determine if your water softener is connected correctly. Please contact them at 878-0666.
