Notification from Water Department

On April 26^th, 2021 water was shut off from 1:30 to 4:00 pm for repair involving a water line break on Long Street. This reduced water pressure event involved Long Street south of Station Street; West Main Street to Cromley Street; East Main Street to Walnut Street; Bortz and Wright Street. This also involved Randolph Street south of Station and north of Madison. Water pressure was enough to avoid a boil alert but we would recommend waitiing before doing laundry and to run water to flush out any rust or air in line. Once it is clear it would be fine for laundry.

Fourth Notification Water Department Update

On February 17, 2021 at about 10:00 am a water break was identified on West Main Street between Center Alley and Long Street. At about 1:00 pm a second leak was identified on West Main Street just east of Cromley Street. The first and second leak has been repaired. Our water towers have been restored to 17 feet. We have found an additional two leaks. One on Madison Avenue near Center Alley and another leak at Long and Station Street. The repairs were completed at Long and Station Street at 4:30 pm. Therefore, that "Boil Water Alert" will end on Sunday, February 21, 2021 at 4:30 pm.

“Conservation Advisory” has ended

As a result of the loss of water we will need to conserve water. The village has 550,000 gallons in elevated storage and the past 12 months average daily flow has been 310,000 gallons. The Village only has 1½ days of storage. We do not want the distribution system to depressurize & have parts of town go dry. Therefore, we ask that residents decrease their use of water during this period. Water remains safe for now.During this advisory no unnecessary use of water is permitted. Additional steps that the average person can take to help include:

• Taking shorter showers;
• Turning off the water when shaving or brushing teeth;
• Fixing leaky faucets or toilets;
• Delay or use only full loads when washing clothes or dishes;
• Using water-saving showerheads and faucets & toilets.

“Boil Water Alert” is over water is safe to drink

Therefore, with both the loss of water and the resulting decrease in water pressure we are issuing a “boil water alert”. We will also need to recover the water that we have loss.  We are instructing you as residents to boil all tap water at a rolling boil for at least two minutes prior to consumption. The "boil water alert” remains in effect for 48 hours after repairs or until we can confirm no contamination is possible and issue an all-clear.

If water has been open to air a water quality test will be performed and if any problems are detected the alert will be extended another 24 hours and you will be notified.  As an alternative to boiling water, people may use bottled water.

“Discoloration Advisory” continues as a caution

Discoloration Advisory”This event will result in discoloration. If discoloration occurs, let your water run until it clears. One word of caution: Rust will stain light colored laundry. Please be sure that both your cold and hot water are rust-free before you launder any whites. If such staining occurs, there is a remedy. Most grocery and hardware stores carry laundry aids, which remove rust stains. We have a Rust Stain Remover at the office called “Super Iron Out”. If you happen to get this message late, come to 200 East Station if you need to remove iron stain from your clothing.If there are any changes, you will be notified.

If there are any changes, you will be notified by our website, Facebook, and/or through radio, TV, and Newspaper.

For more information, residents may contact their Water Department at 614/214-9223 or 740/207-1842.

Sincerely, Jim Welsh, Chief and Licensed Water Operator.

Conservation Advisory

Last night the power was disrupted to our main well. That power has been restored. The disruption has resulted in a drop in the water tower levels. We are now restoring those levels. As a precautionary measure we are asking for a voluntary conservation of water advisory.

The Village has 550,000 gallons in elevated storage and the past 12 months average daily flow has been 410,000 gallons. The Village has just over one (1) day of storage.  During this conservation advisory the village will be refilling the towers and providing needed water for the village. To assist us in this process we ask that residents decrease their use of water until Monday, April 15^th.  This will give the pumps enough time to refill the towers. 

During this advisory we discourage the washing of cars. Additional steps that the average person can take to help include:

• Taking shorter showers;
• Turning off the water when shaving or brushing teeth;
• Fixing leaky faucets or toilets;
• Delay or use only full loads when washing clothes or dishes;
• Using water-saving showerheads & faucets and toilets.

We want to reemphasize the water is safe for drinking purposes. You may as a result of the outage experience increased hardness and darker colored water (rust (iron) particles from the inside of water mains). Rust will stain light colored laundry. Please be sure that both your cold and hot water are rust-free before you launder any whites. In the event that such staining occurs, there is a remedy. Most grocery and hardware stores carry laundry aids, which remove rust stains. We have a Rust Stain Remover at the office called “Super Iron Out”. If you happen to get this message late, come to 200 East Station if you need to remove iron stain from your clothing.

If there are any changes, you will be notified by our website, Facebook, and/or through radio, TV, and Newspaper.
