Village of Ashville Water Department

Annually, the Village of Ashville includes a report on the quality of water provided to our residents in our monthly newsletter. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (O-EPA) calls this the CCR or Consumer Confidence Report. All community public water systems are required to prepare a CCR and distribute this to their customers. The report contains information on the community's drinking water including the source of the water, contaminants detected, the likely sources of detected contaminants, health effects of the contaminants when violations occur, and availability of source assessments.

CCR's are required by the 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act. The Federal Rule (40 CFR 141.151 through 155) was finalized on August 19, 1998. We hope this information will provide you comfort and security. We recognize that water quality is a very important area of operation.

The Village of Ashville pumped 173.078 million gallons in 2017 with 24.11 removed in the process resulting in total finished pumped of 148.968 MG.

A word from the Water Department

In 2017, the Ashville Water Department began monitoring pressure throughout the distribution system as an ongoing evaluation of the hydraulic flow through the village. Monitoring flow will help to provide information in future to where a new water tower will need to be placed and where water lines need to be upsized. We had few water main breaks and had zero interruptions of service. Last year we had all of our water towers serviced, one of which was flushed clean. In the future, we will be cleaning the outside of the towers as well. The water Department focused on the distribution system in 2016 and part of 2017. The end of last year we began to work on the water plant, and that will continue this year. The work includes replacing softners, updating our chlorine feed system, cleaning our backup wells and installing a permanent generator. Looking forward, I am expecting the water plant to continue to operate without any significant issues as it did in 2017. The water plant has aged well and is producing enough water our demand and then some.
