About Us
The Chesterfield Township Department of Public Works is committed to providing safe, high-quality tap water that meets or exceeds all federal and state standards. We're proud to present this 2017 Consumer Annual Report on Water Quality, which details our water source, testing results, and essential information about water safety and health.
The DPW will immediately notify residents if there's ever any reason for concern about your water supply. We're pleased to demonstrate how we've surpassed water quality standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
Our system serves approximately 45,000 residents through five master meter locations. Chesterfield Township receives water from the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) via two locations: the Lake Huron Treatment Plant north of Port Huron and from the Detroit River. Having multiple water sources ensures our community maintains reliable service even if one main source experiences issues.
Water quality is vital to our community and region. Chesterfield Township and GLWA are dedicated to meeting state and federal standards including the Lead and Copper Rule. With the Great Lakes as our water source and proven treatment systems, GLWA consistently delivers safe water to our community. Chesterfield Township operates the network of water mains carrying this water to your service line.
This year's report highlights the performance of both GLWA and Chesterfield Township water professionals in delivering some of the nation's highest quality water. Together, we remain committed to protecting public health and maintaining transparent communication about your water supply.
The water GLWA delivers to our community does not contain lead. Lead can enter drinking water through home plumbing fixtures and, in some cases, customer service lines. Corrosion control reduces this risk. Orthophosphates are added during treatment to create a protective coating in service pipes throughout the system, including in your home or business. Chesterfield Township conducts required lead and copper sampling in our community. Residents should also maintain their home plumbing and take appropriate steps to limit exposure.
Our source water comes from the lower Lake Huron watershed, which includes numerous short, seasonal streams draining into Lake Huron. In 2004, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality partnered with the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department and other agencies to conduct a source water assessment, rating susceptibility on a seven-tiered scale from "very low" to "very high." The Lake Huron water intake is classified as having moderately low susceptibility to potential contaminants, and the treatment plant has historically provided satisfactory treatment to meet water standards.
In 2015, GLWA received a grant to develop a source water protection program for the Lake Huron water treatment plant intake. This comprehensive program includes government roles and responsibilities, source water protection area delineation, potential contamination identification, management approaches, contingency plans, new source planning, and public participation.

Historical Background
Michigan State Legislature officially established Chesterfield Township in 1842 through Public Act 57, but the area's history extends much further back. North American Indigenous peoples originally inhabited these lands and waters, as evidenced by artifacts including arrowheads, clay pottery, and burial sites discovered throughout the region.
Native communities thrived along Lake St. Clair's shores and nearby rivers, utilizing marsh reeds for basket weaving and constructing summer dwellings. The land provided sustenance through wild berries, gourds, medicinal plants, while waterways supplied fish, waterfowl, and turtles. Upland areas supported deer, beaver, rabbits, and various predators. The region was particularly valued for its salt springs, which provided an exceptionally valuable trade resource.
European Settlement
French explorers first arrived in Chesterfield as early as 1611, naming the lake "Lac du Ste Claire" in 1687. Water transportation was essential, with French settlers adapting Native canoe designs and using sailboats for fur transport. They established a settlement called "La Saline" (now Salt River) and named other waterways Aux Vases and Crepeau. Their agricultural approach featured strip farms similar to those in France and Canada.
When the British Empire gained control, many French settlers remained on their established lands. The British maintained the salt operations and expanded trading activities. The first military road was established, later developed into the Fort Gratiot Turnpike. As permanent settlement increased, forests were cleared for agriculture and livestock production.
American Era
Though the American Revolution brought independence to the colonies, British control of the area continued until 1815, following the War of 1812. After Michigan became a territory in 1805, immigration increased significantly. William Wampler surveyed Chesterfield in 1818, recording both existing land claims and new agricultural developments. The Fort Gratiot Turnpike became a toll-maintained highway, and side roads expanded throughout the area.
Township government was formally established in 1842, with growing communities developing schools, churches, and commercial buildings constructed from sawn lumber rather than logs. Sawmills and gristmills supported the thriving agricultural economy.
Community Development
Alfred Ashley established the town of Ashley (later New Baltimore) along the waterfront. Other settlements including Milton, Milton Depot, Chesterfield, Heart, and East Union emerged near railways and roads. This development brought increased population, merchants, and industry. The Inter-Urban Electric Railway connecting Detroit to Port Huron introduced electricity to the community, marking a significant step in local modernization.
