Water Quality Report

The City of Gaylord Water Quality Reports provide information on the drinking water quality for the City of Gaylord water system. Included in the reports are details about where the water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards.

PFAS Report

The Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) has undertaken a proactive effort to investigate sources and locations of PFAS contamination in Michigan, to protect our drinking water, and to inform the public about PFAS. This involves the work of ten state departments, in coordination with local and federal officials. 

This letter is intended to provide the results of PFAS analyses in samples collected from the city of Gaylord.

Developer Toolkit

Thank you for your interest in helping grow the Alpine Village! This section is designed to put important resources for developers in one convenient location.

Once a concept is developed, the City encourages a conceptual review meeting to answer questions and make sure the concept follows our planning strategy and zoning ordinances. Please fill out this Conceptual Review Application if you feel you are ready for a review, and email it to Travis Hewitt at treasurer@cityofgaylord.org, or bring it to City Hall at 305 E Main Street for staff review.

The City is the first point of contact for development projects. We can help navigate zoning and other City related items such as water and sewer utilities. Otsego County is the governing body which issues building permits in the City. We encourage you to reach out to them early in the planning process. Otsego county Land Use Services Director Jeff Proux can be reached at 989-731-7400, or you can visit their website at Building Department | Otsego County, MI (otsegocountymi.gov)

Marijuana Committee

The City Council has selected an Ad Hoc Committee to hold meetings to discuss, review and potentially draft a new Marihuana Ordinance to replace the existing "Opt Out" ordinance which is currently in place in the City of Gaylord.

This nine (9) member Committee will conduct meetings to review information and with the assistance of the City Manager and City Attorney prepare a recommendation to assist the City Council and the Planning Commission to follow up on a way to possibly participate in the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (MRTMA) within the City of Gaylord.

The ultimate goal of the Committee will be to:
1. Review the existing ordinance
2. Prepare any desired changes
3. Recommend those changes to the City Council

All meetings will be held at the Gaylord City Hall, 305 E. Main St., Gaylord, MI. in the City Council Chambers. Social distancing practices will be in effect. The City Council Chambers can accommodate up to 24 visitors seated and an additional 6 standing. Meetings will last an hour and a half and a public comment period will be allowed at each meeting. Agendas will be posted at least 48 hours before each meeting below. They will also be posted outside the City Hall in display cases.
