Ohio Environmental Protect Division of Drinking & Ground Waters
July 2015 Village of Ashville Water Department Report
Ashville annually reports on on the quality of water provided to our residents. 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 annually and distribute the report 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 water 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 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 234.696 million gallons in 2014 with 30.179 removed in the process resulting in total finished pumped or 204.517 MG.
A Word from the Water Department
2014 has come and gone, but the changes made to our water treatment plant and system last year should carry us well into the future. The village invested last year by spending money on new flow metering, a new pump at well 4 site, a new emergency generator connection, and new communications at the water tower sites and water plant. Although costly these changes allow us more flexibility and control in how we process water and meet our increasing demand. Many meters were installed in the distribution system as part of our ongoing efforts to convert our entire metering system over to radio read. The backflow program was enforced and many inspections were done within our system, as we continue to help prevent cross contamination. We were fortunate last year to have very few interruptions of service and no major water breaks or problems either in the distribution system or plant. Most of the work listed before was scheduled and completed late at night to insure that there would be as little impact to our residents as possible. I would like to thank all of our contractors, staff, and village administration who coordinated together to complete these projects. Lastly we had no violations in 2014 and very few problems. For a water system that was built in 1935 we are blessed.
If you have questions or any problems concerning the water or the water system, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you for your time, Jim Welsh
