Harmful Algal Blooms
District customers whose water is treated by The City of Toledo probably remember when the "Do Not Drink" advisory was issued for Toledo water in 2014. Since then, the City of Toledo has invested millions of dollars in improvements into their water treatment plant. They continue to update The District and the other partners involved in the Toledo Regional Water Commission on improvements to prevent harmful algal blooms (HABs) from impacting our water supply.
This spring, Toledo's ozone treatment system became operational and is already making a difference in our water quality.
The District continues to work with all of our water treatment providers, sharing information on water quality including HABs and other impurities that can impact water quality.
