How the water is treated

EPA's treatment table registers Union City Village with no treatment: the water is distributed as drawn.

Union City (Indiana) Water Works, which supplies it, is not in EPA's Ohio treatment table (it may be an out-of-state seller).

The list is what each system registered with EPA for treatment plants EPA still shows as active, and it can lag a plant upgrade.

Violations

EPA's record shows no health-based violations for Union City Village since 2015.

EPA logs 5 violations of any kind since 2020: 5 for a report, record or notice that was missing, late or incomplete (the yearly water quality report, a public notice, lead line records).

Lead and copper at the tap

In the sampling period ending December 2025, the 90th-percentile lead result at Union City Village was 2.4 ppb, under both the current 15 ppb action level and the 10 ppb level that applies from 2027.

The highest result on file is 10.3 ppb, in the period ending December 2021.

EPA has 7 sampling periods on file for Union City Village since 2016, the first ending in 2017; 1 of the 7 periods went above 10 ppb.

Every water system has to inventory its service lines, the pipes from the main to each building. In the inventory Union City Village sent EPA, 668 lines are counted.

Systems sample taps in the homes most likely to have lead pipes or solder. The 90th-percentile result is the level nine in ten of the sampled homes were at or below. Lead comes mostly from service lines and house plumbing, not the source water, so a low result for the system does not clear an old house.

EPA's dashboard status for this inventory: reported all required service line types.

PFAS

No PFAS result is on file for Union City Village and Union City (Indiana) Water Works, which supplies it,. Neither was not among the systems EPA sampled for its fifth national round (UCMR 5, every system serving 3,300 or more people and a random sample of smaller ones) and neither has no result in Ohio EPA's 2019 to 2021 survey.

Disinfection byproducts

Chlorine that disinfects water also reacts with organic matter to form byproducts. Two groups have federal limits: total trihalomethanes (TTHM, 80 µg/L) and five haloacetic acids (HAA5, 60 µg/L), judged on running yearly averages at each sampling site.

For TTHM, the average of Union City Village's samples in 2019, the last year it was sampled, was 24.3 µg/L. The worst yearly average was 30.1 µg/L and the highest single sample was 34.4 µg/L, from 14 samples taken from 2013 to 2019.

For HAA5, the average in the last year sampled was 8.9 µg/L. The worst yearly average was 8.9 µg/L and the highest single sample was 11.3 µg/L, from 14 samples.

A yearly average of 0 means nothing was detected in that year's samples. EPA's file stops at 2019; Ohio EPA's Drinking Water Watch has newer results.

Bacteria in the pipes

From 2012 to 2019, 0 of 196 routine total coliform samples taken in the distribution system at Union City Village tested positive (0%); in 2019, the last year on file, 0 of 25 did. E. coli was never found in the 11 samples tested for it.

A positive coliform test is a warning sign, not a violation by itself. E. coli is a sign that human or animal waste may have reached the water. Coliform counts are routine samples only; E. coli counts include repeat samples.

Fluoride

The Ohio Department of Health's report to the CDC (My Water's Fluoride) says Union City Village buys its water from another system, a system that has fluoride from natural sources at the recommended level for preventing tooth decay. The level it reports is 0.8 mg/L.

EPA's treatment table lists no fluoridation step at Union City Village.

The recommended level for preventing tooth decay is 0.7 mg/L; the federal limit is 4 mg/L. The treatment list is what each system registered with EPA and can lag a plant upgrade.

Water and sewer bills

Ohio EPA's 2023 rate survey puts the water bill at Union City Village for a household using 5,000 gallons a month at $424 a year, about $35 a month.

The sewer bill in the same survey is $393 a year at 5,000 gallons a month.

The survey lists it as “Union City”. These are inside-city rates and annual bills at the use shown.

How well the service area is mapped

EPA estimated the service area of Union City Village with a computer model rather than drawing it from the utility's map, so its edges are approximate.
