About this area's water Hebron Village
Did you know
- Hebron's original business district was destroyed by a fire around the turn of the 20th century, before the village had piped water for firefighting.
- The village's first water system in 1937 served only 84 customers; the system now has 870 service connections.
- Hebron's water reclamation plant uses an 'Orbal oxidation ditch' -- a racetrack-shaped biological treatment loop -- ahead of tertiary sand filtration and UV disinfection, replacing an older 1960s plant that was…
- Hebron's 2025 water-quality testing, including its first round of PFAS screening under the new federal rule, came back non-detect or well under federal limits across every parameter listed in its CCR.
History5
- 1935-1937Negotiations for a village water system began in 1935; pumping to the first 84 customers started in 1937.
- 1952-1964Village pursued legislation for sewers and enlarged water facilities, which became operational by 1964.
- 1983-1989Water/sewer system expanded twice, eventually growing to serve well over 700 users (today 870 service connections).
- 2005Ohio EPA source water assessment reportedly rated Hebron's aquifer 'LOW' susceptibility to contamination (per village's own site; original SWAP document not independently located this session).
- 2006Village's Water Reclamation Facility began operation on November 10, 2006, replacing an overloaded 1963-64 plant, discharging to Beaver Run.
Treatment & pressure
How it is treated
Groundwater from 4 wells (150-320 ft deep, combined capacity 3.2 MGD) is pre-oxidized (sodium permanganate/cascade aeration) to remove iron and manganese, coagulated/softened with hydrated lime (pH raised to ~11), stabilized with CO2 recarbonation (pH lowered to ~8.5), filtered through dual-media…

Water pressure
Not published; no PSI figure found in the CCR, water page, or utility billing materials.
What it costs
$9.67 per 1,000 gallons
Confirmed: $9.67 per 1,000 gallons inside village limits, $19.34/1,000 gal outside (hebronvillage.org/utility-billing). CORRECTION: the village does publish a minimum charge -- a…

Supply stress
Likely low: the village's own site cites a 2005 Ohio EPA source water assessment rating the aquifer 'LOW' susceptibility due to a protective clay layer, and a 2025 PFAS screening (first of two required rounds) found no detections. The original 2005 SWAP document was not independently located this session, so this is kept at reduced…
