SUMMERTIME WATER SAVINGS
The warmer weather often means increased water use for our customers. Since your water bill is based directly on your usage, more water means a higher bill. Below are some tips to help you conserve water and save money. Gardening Tips: 1. Regularly check your outside spigots and garden hoses for leaks. 2. When watering plants, direct water to the root zone using a watering wand, drip irrigation, or soaker hose. 3. Water your lawn or garden during the early morning or evening hours to prevent evaporation. 4. Install rain barrels to collect and store rainwater for watering.
HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS 
2024 marks the tenth anniversary of the "Do Not Drink" advisory for approximately 6,000 of our Toledo water customers. Our water treatment providers have improved their monitoring of water sources for Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and microcystin. This allows them to proactively treat water, making sure your water is safe regardless of bloom severity. The District receives regular updates from our water providers, including Toledo, Oregon, Bowling Green, Perrysburg, Fostoria, and Napoleon, to ensure your water is safe to drink. For more information on HABs or other water quality concerns, visit nwwsd.org.
