Utility survey results are provided forhardness goals and sodium. A citizen advisory committee was formed and health considerations of sodium are presented, along with 2007 data on Ann Arbor drinking water contributionto overall sodium concentrations, sodium impact on aquatic life, health professional feedback oncalcium in water, potential benefits of the impact of reduced hardness, and phosphorus in dishwasher detergent.
