Zaleski Village

• Zaleski's water system serves only about 360 people through 175 connections, run out of a village hall reachable by a Gmail address and a single phone line.
• The village draws entirely from three groundwater wells (Wells 6, 8, and 9) with no filtration — just chlorination — before it reaches taps.
• Ohio EPA placed a source water protection designation on the Zaleski well field effective December 3, 2025.

How it is treated

Groundwater from three wells (Wells 6, 8, and 9) is disinfected with post-treatment hypochlorination (chlorination only) before entering the village distribution system; EPA SDWIS's TREATMENT table confirms no filtration or other process is on file for this system.

EPA compliance record

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 0 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA health-based violations since 2015:

• 2024Lead and Copper Rule (lead) · treatment technique violation · returned to compliance

5 violations of any kind logged since 2020, 4 of them paperwork (monitoring, reporting, public notice or consumer report).

No specific stress indicators found; this is a small 3-well groundwater supply for about 360 people through 175 connections in rural Vinton County with one treatment plant and one storage tank — limited redundancy is an inherent vulnerability for a system this size.
