Annual Water Quality Report Available Online

The District prides itself on providing over 5.4 million gallons per day of safe drinking water to the communities we serve. To reach our 20,000 customers in our four-county area, we use water from seven different water sources through a network of 458 miles of pipe.

Once a year, we present our annual water quality reports to our consumers. The EPA requires public water systems to provide Consumer Confidence Reports (CCRs) online. These reports provide information about your local drinking water quality. The CCRs summarize data regarding water sources (e.g., rivers, lakes, reservoirs, or aquifers), detected contaminants, compliance details, and educational information.

CCRs are released annually with information from the previous calendar year. CCRs for our water service areas are available on our website:

A Partnership of Progress on Deimling Road In Rossford

The District has joined a unique partnership in contributing to making important improvements to our region's infrastructure. The District along with the City of Rossford, Wood County Commissioners, and the Wood County Port Authority (WCPA) have teamed up to expand water, sewer, storm sewer, and roadways to accommodate recent growth along Deimling Road in Rossford. According to WCPA Director, Rex Huffman, "We've assembled a responsive team to solve a complex issue. This project will improve traffic flow and reinforce a strong reliable water, wastewater, and stormwater network for years to come." The District will invest $900,000 in the project, which will install a new waterline and provide additional support for waterflow in case of emergency. It will also extend the sanitary sewer system in the area. The Port Authority expects the project to wrap up by the fall.
