About this area's water
Did you know
- Woodville's motto is the 'Lime Center of the World' — nearby dolomitic-limestone quarries made the village a major lime-production center by 1900, and it still holds an annual Lime Festival.
- The village's 9 water wells reach 250-300 feet into a karst aquifer, and the plant still uses lime-and-soda-ash softening alongside modern filtration and fluoridation, per the village's own 2025 water quality report.
- Woodville's own 2025 Consumer Confidence Report discloses that its 2024 report had misreported its fluoride level and its lead/copper 90th-percentile results, and had omitted some required current detections.
- An 1842 stone mile-marker from the old 'Mud Pike' turnpike — Woodville was its midpoint between Perrysburg and Fremont — still stands outside the village pharmacy, per a Historical Marker Database entry.

How it is treated
Confirmed via the village's own 2025 CCR: water is drawn from 9 active wells (250-300 ft deep into a karst aquifer; 7 wells on the west side of the village, 2 near the plant), then treated with lime and soda ash softening, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, stabilization, filtration…
