Canfield fully recovered from multiple water main breaks, the BWA lifted
Safe Drinking Water Advisory Updates
Mahoning County: Canfield City Public Water System has lifted the BWA issued following multiple water main breaks during the cold snap last week. Originally reported as six water main breaks, Canfield Water staff confirm with WTOH.us by phone today there were more than six breaks, crews responded and worked through the cold weather to restore water service. The boil order was lifted over the weekend, City of Canfield residents are back to normal water service.
From Canfield City website, "Canfield Public Works Department performs emergency water and sewer line repairs when breaks or disruptions in our systems occur. These repairs are done when service to our residents are impacted, and typically are repaired within four (4) hours of the break or disruption occurring. Any resident that suspects a waterline break, sanitary sewer, or storm water back up should be reported immediately to City Hall offices at 330-533-1101 or after hours by calling the Police Dispatch Center at 330-533-4903."
According to EPA records, Canfield City Public Water Supply serves 7767 residents with treated surface water purchased from another licensed facility in the Mahoning River watershed. There are no serious SDWA violations on record as of the last audited reporting period, ended Sep 30, 2024. EPA notes this facility in non-compliance with the Consumer Confidence rule in each of the last twelve quarterly reporting cycles.

First percentile record low flows remain on Sandusky River near Bucyrus, Mahoning River at Leavittsburg, Wills Creek at Cambridge. Muskingum River flow at McConnelsville has recovered from low to much below normal overnight. See the front page map for extreme low flow details, red-brown tags indicate the locations.
