Ohio EPA issued a public drinking water advisory sensitive populations advisory for fluoride above the Maximum Contaminant Level.
According to OEPA records, "the fluoride level was 2.09 mg/L on 1/20/2021. The system will sample again in 2024."
*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.
Drinking Water matters
Ohio EPA publishes current drinking water advisories with the following notation "Public water systems are required to monitor their water regularly for contaminants. Currently, more than 95 percent of community water systems meet all health-based standards. When a system doesn't meet a standard, consumers are notified. Notifications may be in the form of signs or multimedia announcements."
WTOH.us checks in on the OEPA issued list regularly for new DW advisories and for the resolution of long term advisories. These drinking water advisories result from the standard monitioring and measurements in violation of quality parameters. Boil water advisories posted to the map as a result of water main breaks, service disruptions, loss of water pressure come up intermittently with advice provided by the drinking water facility to their impacted customers.
See yellow tags on the map for more information.
