About this area's water

Did you know
  • The Lake Rockwell plant that supplies Stow's water has been in service since 1915 - more than 110 years.
  • Akron's 2022 CCR says treated water is pumped 11 miles to Akron through three force mains into equalizing reservoirs; 21% of the system sits high enough to need eight extra pumping districts.
  • If Akron's supply is ever interrupted, partial backup connections exist to the water utilities of Kent, Hudson, Cleveland, Barberton and Cuyahoga Falls.
  • Stow's 2024 service line inventory, done from historical records and visual inspections, found no lead, galvanized-needing-replacement, or unknown-material lines anywhere in the system.
History5
  • 1915Akron's Lake Rockwell treatment plant - enhanced coagulation, rapid sand filtration - enters service; it still supplies Stow today.
  • 2001Stow is licensed by Ohio EPA to operate its own public water system, while still buying all finished water wholesale from Akron.
  • 2011Akron enters the federal consent decree behind the Akron Waterways Renewed sewer program; Stow's sanitary flow feeds that system.
  • 2023Akron publicly contests U.S. EPA's required $200M+ Enhanced High-Rate Treatment facility as unnecessary, asking residents to speak out.
  • 2024On March 1 a federal judge rules Akron has no legal basis to amend the decree and must build the $209M EHRT facility; Akron appeals.
Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Stow buys 100% finished water from Akron, which treats Lake Rockwell (Upper Cuyahoga) water by enhanced coagulation and rapid sand filtration, then adds chlorine dioxide, zinc orthophosphate for corrosion control, chlorine, fluoride and caustic soda for pH.

Water pressure

The 2024 CCR gives no psi. Water enters at the Marsh Rd and N. Main St (Munroe Falls) booster stations; 21% of Akron's system is high-elevation.

What it costs

Stow bills water on the city utility bill, but no rate schedule appears on stowohio.gov (Utility Billing, Document Center and staff directory pages checked).

EPA compliance record

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 0 ppb in 2024 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA health-based violations since 2015:

  • 2024Lead and Copper Rule Revisions · lead service line inventory missing or incomplete (a records requirement, not a lead test result) · returned to compliance

3 violations of any kind logged since 2020: 2 for a report, record or notice that was missing, late or incomplete (the yearly water quality report, a public notice, lead line records); 1 health-based.

EPA compliance record · Akron City (treats the water)

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 2.7 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA health-based violations since 2015:

  • 2025Haloacetic acids (HAA5) · above the legal limit on average · measured 0.062 MG/L · returned to compliance

1 violation of any kind logged since 2020: 1 health-based.

Projects & plans2

Recent and current work

  • Akron Waterways Renewed (combined sewer overflow program) · $1000 million · 2011-2028 · under construction
    Consent-decree sewer program; 24 of 26 projects complete, Northside Interceptor Tunnel under construction. Stow's sewage flows into this system.

Planned or needed

  • Enhanced High-Rate Treatment (EHRT) facility · $209 million · 2024 · planned
    Final consent-decree project. Akron contested it and lost at district court in March 2024; reporting says combined water/sewer bills could rise ~23%.
Supply stress

Stow has no source of its own and depends entirely on Akron's Lake Rockwell reservoir system, which Ohio EPA rated 'moderate susceptibility' in 2003 (farm runoff, septic systems, rail and road spills). Akron's plant is rated 67 MGD and averages 35 MGD for ~300,000 people, so supply is ample; the real pressure is consent-decree sewer cost.

Sewers

Sanitary

Stow's sewage goes to Akron's Water Reclamation Facility at 2460 Akron-Peninsula Rd (~62 MGD), which also serves Cuyahoga Falls, Springfield, Mogadore, Lakemore, Tallmadge, Fairlawn, Bath and Montrose. Akron's older core has combined sewers under a federal consent decree (entered 2011) requiring compliance by 2028.

Storm

Stow's own collection system uses separate storm sewers maintained by the city.

Mostly estimated. Only 5% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 44224 (Stow) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

48,712 days of records, 1893-01-01 to 2026-10-30. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-11-01): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-11-01 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.
