Understanding Your Water Quality: UCMR 5 Testing Results The City of Greendale is committed to keeping our community informed about the quality of your drinking water. As part of this effort, we regularly conduct water quality testing, including monitoring for unregulated contaminants under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Unregulated Contaminants Monitoring Rule (UCMR). In September 2023 and September 2024, we collected samples to test for 29 PFAS compounds (man-made chemicals found in various products) and lithium. This testing helps determine whether additional regulations might be needed to ensure the safety of your drinking water in the future. What Are UCMR 5 and PFAS? UCMR 5:  The fifth cycle of the EPA’s program to monitor contaminants that are currently unregulated but may require future regulation. PFAS Compounds:  Often called "forever chemicals," these substances can persist in the environment and may have health implications. Testing for PFAS is an essential step in understanding their presence in our water supply. How Can You Access the Results? We want to ensure that everyone has access to this important information. Here are two easy ways to review the UCMR 5 results: Contact Us Directly:  Call the Greendale Utilities Office at 812-537-2125  for assistance. Check Online:  Visit the EPA’s UCMR Data Finder page at https://www.epa.gov/dwucmr/fifth-unregulated-contaminant-monitoring-rule-data-finder#data-finder  and enter our Public Water System (PWS) number: IN5215003 .

Ensuring the safety and quality of Greendale’s drinking water is our top priority. As part of ongoing efforts to protect public health, the State of Indiana has launched a Lead Pipe Identification Program aimed at identifying and replacing lead service lines across the state. As part of this initiative you may have received a letter in the mail asking for assistance in identifying the water line service to your home or business. Please be assured that Greendale has no reason to believe lead piping is present in our water systems. We are required to comply with the state's initiative to identify the existing water line services within the City of Greendale. We would appreciate your cooperation in completing the survey enclosed in the communication you received.

Per the Dearborn County Board of Commissioners a county wide burn ban is now in effect for Dearborn County. This ban will remain in effect until rescinded from the commissioners. This decision was made due to the continued lack of rainfall, high temperatures, and high humidity. It was felt that these conditions have dried vegetation to the point it may easily combust and thus become a fire hazard. The fire chiefs in Dearborn County were asked their opinion and a vast majority is in favor of a burn ban. Pursuant to Dearborn County Ordinance § 96.01(B), effective immediately the following activities are prohibited in Dearborn County: 1. Campfires and any other form of recreation fire unless said fires are enclosed in a fire ring measuring at least 23 inches in diameter and 10 inches or more in height. 2. Open burning of any kind using wood or any other combustible matter, with the exception of cooking grills fueled by charcoal briquettes or propane gas. Charcoal from permitted grills shall not be removed from a grill until the charcoal has been thoroughly extinguished. 3. Open burning of any kind of debris, such as timber, vegetation, building constructions waste or otherwise, with the exception of burning barrels with a ¼ inch mesh top and said burning shall be permitted from dawn to dusk only; and 4. Subject to Indiana Code § 22-11-14-10.5, the usage of consumer fireworks. Any individual or entity found in violation of this section shall be subject to a fine of not less than $200 but not more than $1,000, plus applicable court costs.
