Treatment & pressure
How it is treated
Drinking water is drawn from 3 wells on village-owned property. The raw water is chlorinated for disinfection and passed through media filters to reduce iron and manganese before entering the distribution system. Ohio EPA's source-water susceptibility analysis rates the aquifer 'low susceptibility…

Water pressure
Not published; no distribution-system pressure figures found in the village's CCR or on its website.
What it costs
No water or sewer rate schedule could be retrieved. The village's utility-information page links to 'Ordinance 2024-28, Utility Rates,' but that PDF returns a 404 on the village's…

EPA compliance record
Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 1.8 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).
EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.
Supply stress
No published data on well-field capacity or drawdown relative to the heavy commercial/truck-stop water demand at the I-75/US-30 interchange. Ohio EPA's 2022 source-water assessment found the wellfield's bedrock aquifer has 'low susceptibility to contamination' due to a 32-37 ft confining silt-and-clay layer, but this is a…
