An individual asked the township for records about the municipal water system. The township granted access to part of the responsive records, withholding information because it might endanger life or safety or security (sections 8(1)(e)) and 8(1)(i)), and cause danger to safety or health (section 13). In this order, the adjudicator does not uphold the township’s decision and disagrees that disclosure of the information could endanger a system, threaten the health or safety of any individuals, or be a threat to health and safety. She also finds that the township has not established that it conducted a reasonable search for some of the records and orders the city to conduct a further search.
