Lodi Village

• Lodi sits on the north-south continental divide: rain falling on the village runs off either north to Lake Erie or south to the Ohio River. The East Fork of the Black River enters from the north, turns back north, and…
• The village was founded in 1811 as Harrisville, for Judge Joseph Harris, and is the oldest settlement in Medina County; the name Lodi echoes Napoleon's 1796 victory at Lodi in northern Italy.
• EPA's facility inventory lists the Bank Street tank as inactive - which is the opposite of the frequently repeated claim that it is the village's oldest tank still in service. The active storage is the Evergreen…
• Lodi's 90th-percentile lead has stayed between 1.2 and 1.7 ppb across four straight monitoring rounds since 2016, roughly a tenth of the 15 ppb action level.

How it is treated

Groundwater from four active wells (EPA facility IDs Well 0004, 0005, 0006 and 0007; an older Lodi WTP Well 0004 is deactivated) treated at the Lodi water treatment plant. The specific process - the earlier draft described filtration for iron, manganese, clays and microorganisms plus chlorine…

Water pressure

No psi figure is published, and the two-pressure-zone description in the earlier draft could not be substantiated. EPA's facility inventory does show a multi-tank, multi-station…

No rate could be substantiated. The earlier draft's figures ($1.24 per 100 gallons, $24.80 monthly minimum for 2,000 gallons, effective March 2025) trace only to…

EPA compliance record

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 1.7 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

1 violation of any kind logged since 2020, 1 of them paperwork (monitoring, reporting, public notice or consumer report).

EPA records show the system carries a source water protection plan, with a protection period beginning September 29, 2025 - which supports the existence of a plan but dates it to 2025, not to the 2001 assessment the earlier draft cited. The 'highly susceptible to contamination' rating attributed to a 2001 Ohio EPA source water assessment…

Sanitary

The village operates the Lodi WWTP, NPDES permit OH0020991, at 300 Grandview Avenue, with a total design flow of 0.8 MGD; the current individual permit took effect April 1, 2023. That design capacity matches the earlier draft, but the rest of the draft's description - built in 2001 for $8 million, activated sludge with four aeration…

Storm

Not verifiable. The earlier draft's claim that a separate storm sewer is billed as a distinct account came only from the village website, which is inaccessible.
