Safe Drinking Water Act DWF Profile: Akron City Public Water System No Violations Watershed: Cuyahoga River - Lake Erie West Basin Owner: local government, established 1901 Location: Akron, OH Summit County Permit: OH7700011 Water Source: surface water Current Notices: From the 2022 Annual Water Quality Report published on City of Akron website, published May 2023: Three impounding reservoirs take surface water from the Upper Cuyahoga River. Water is stored and released from Wendell R. LaDue Reservoir and East Branch Reservoir, both in Geauga County. These reservoirs supplement Lake Rockwell, located in Franklin Township, Portage County, 2.5 miles north of Kent, Ohio. Water from Lake Rockwell is treated at the nearby water supply plant, pumped 11 miles to Akron through three force mains into equalizing reservoirs and distributed to more than 80,000 households. Because 21 percent of the system is at higher elevations, eight districts are supplied by additional pump stations and tanks. In the event of an emergency water supply loss, partial backup water supplies are available by connections to the water utilities of Kent, Hudson, Cleveland, Barberton, and Cuyahoga Falls. These backup water supplies were not utilized in 2022. System Type: Community water system Population Served: Residential 280,000 Service Connections: 94,993 Sanitary Survey complete: May 13, 2021 (State) <br> Minor deficiencies noted in Distribution, Finished Water Storage Recommendations made in Pumps, Treatment The following information gathered from federal EPA pertains to the quarter ending Mar 31, 2023 (data last refreshed on EPA database July 18, 2023)
Non-compliance History: No Violations *Note that drinking water information provided on this site is aggregated from the federal EPA database, state resources and local government sources where available. EPA publishes violation and enforcement data quarterly, based on the inspection reports of the previous quarter. Water systems, states and EPA take up to three months to verify this data is accurate and complete. Specific questions about your local water supply should be directed to the facility. The EPA safe drinking water facilities data available to the public presents what is known to the government based upon the most recently available information for more than one million regulated facilities. EPA and states inspect a percentage of facilities each year, but many facilities, particularly smaller ones, may not have received a recent inspection. It is possible that facilities do have violations that have not yet been discovered, thus are shown as compliant in the system. EPA cannot positively state that facilities without violations shown in ECHO are necessarily fully compliant with environmental laws. Additionally, some violations at smaller facilities do not need to be reported from the states to EPA. If ECHO shows a recent inspection and the facility is shown with no violations identified, users of the ECHO site can be more confident that the facility is in compliance with federal programs. The compliance status of smaller facilities that have not had recent inspections or review by EPA or the states may be unknown or only available via state data systems.
