Projects & plans2
Recent and current work
- 2025 Water Main Replacement Project · 2025 · under construction
Latest in an annual program; the city posts replacement maps for 2010-2021, 2022, 2023-2024 and 2025. No cost figure published.
Planned or needed
- Water service line inventory · 2025 · completed
Required by the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions; the inventory is published at hhoh.org/654/water-service-line-inventory.
Supply stress
Ohio EPA's source water assessment found the raw supply has HIGH susceptibility to contamination: a relatively thin clay layer over the aquifer, shallow aquifer depth, and potential contaminant sources inside the protection areas. Ohio EPA's 2020 PFAS sampling found none.
Sewers
Sanitary
The city's Division of Water and Wastewater, operated under contract by Veolia, provides sewer COLLECTION service. No city-owned treatment plant, capacity, receiving stream, or consent decree was found, and the treatment provider is not identified in city sources.
Storm
Not detailed in any city source retrieved; no stormwater utility or fee was confirmed.
