With the Flow Ohio – Watershed Report for the Week of Nov 22-28

With the Flow Ohio tracks trends in your watershed, posting weekly updates from USGS WaterWatch Current Streamflow and Ohio EPA Division of Drinking and Ground Waters

USGS WaterWatch Current Streamflow – data is captured from real time monitoring stations, including the percentage of normal (mean) flow, flow volume in cubic feet per second, and flow depth. A river or stream that has reached action stage for flood preparation will be highlighted. This report contains USGS Current Stream Flows: as at Nov 17, 2021

Public Drinking Water Systems by County - as listed in Ohio EPA database; these include active and inactive systems, off all classes C: community delivery year round, NTNC: serving at least 25, the same individuals during 6 months of the year; and TNC: transient non-community serves at least 25, transient individuals, 60 or more days of the year. For more information, see report key at the end of this document.

Active community drinking water systems are classified by EPA as serving fifteen or more connections and providing water to the same people year-round. The EPA works with the states, tribes, water system authorities and water system operators to ensure safe drinking water for Americans.

EPA Lead and Copper Rule

Water systems sample and test for lead and copper periodically through the year.

Lead and copper contamination come from plumbing, common to certain types of lines and connections

A lead level of 0.015mg/L is action level (AL); the action level for copper is 1.3 mg/L.

WaterToday Ohio will be looking at the Lead and Copper test results posted for active community drinking water systems by watershed.
