Barking Dogs
Incessant barking by a dog can create a lot of irritation among neighbors. Both Scio and Webster townships have nuisance ordinances about barking dogs that they will enforce, as well as the County Sheriff’s Office. So, if your pet has a tendency to bark and howl a lot, please be mindful of your neighbors.

Home Safety Tests
Any home can have a radon problem. Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas formed by the breakdown of uranium.
- Tasteless, colorless, and odorless, and is found in many types of soil and rocks.
- Can enter homes and other buildings through cracks in foundations, sump pump crocks, crawl spaces, or other openings.
- Classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a Class A carcinogen - one that is known to cause cancer in humans.
Your drinking water is regularly tested for lead and copper. Loch Alpine Sanitary Authority (LASA), conducts these tests. Water flowing from LASA wells, the water tower and lines typically tests well within the acceptable limits for lead and copper.
However, lead in your drinking water can occur in house lines and faucets, particularly older homes. Lead pipes were often used in homes built before 1988, and lead components were used in some plumbing fixtures until 2014.
Washtenaw County offers more information about lead in drinking water and testing for lead within your home on its website, here.
