• City of Hancock

• Quincy Hill area of Franklin Township

• Portage Township (M-26, Green Acres Road, Dodgeville, Hurontown, Isle Royale

#2 Location, Dakota Heights, and Naumkeag Shores on Canal Road).

has been lifted. Please share this notice with other people who drink this water by distributing

this notice or posting in a public place.
