Our Vision Continues

Our objective is to fulfill Ashville's Vision, "offering an enhanced quality of life achieved through planning, progress and collaboration". We are once again pleased to present our annual water quality report covering all testing performed between January 1 and December 31, 2022. Over the years, we have dedicated ourselves to producing drinking water that meets all state and federal standards. We continually strive to adopt methods for delivering the best-quality drinking water to you. As challenges to drinking water safety emerge, we remain attentive in meeting the goals of source water protection, water conservation, and community education while continuing to serve the needs of all our water users. Please remember that we are always available should you ever have any questions or concerns about your water.

The complete 2022 report is on this webpage with notification through our newsletter about updates or new reports. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OhioEPA) requires all community public water systems to prepare a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) and provide information to their customers. This report contains information on our 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, availability of source assessments, general health information, water quality test results, how to participate in decisions concerning your drinking water and water system contacts.

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. In Ohio, the requirement is through Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Chapter 3745-96. We hope this information will provide you comfort and security. We recognize that water quality is a very important area of operation.

Your drinking water met all Ohio EPA standards.

A word from the Water Department

In 2022 the village began to work extensively on the well field making necessary repairs to the current main well. In order to finish repairs to the main well a second well had to be drilled and constructed. This work is ongoing and will hopefully be finished within the next couple of months. By finishing this work, the village will ensure water supply for decades to come. The village began working on developing plans for evaluating the old water plant and designing plans for a new water treatment plant. The water department also made many repairs at the end of last year to the softeners and feed lines for each of the units. The water department is continuing to install new smart meters in each home and to date roughly 95% of the village has been completed. We are anticipating having the remaining meters replaced by the end of 2023. The village is also working on plans to install a connection with the Earnhardt Hill Water district to be able to purchase treated water as a back up to our system. With all the changes and new demand coming into the village the water department is working hard to maintain treatment with little to no interruptions. With the new plant, a new tower on the North end, a second main well, and an interconnection with the district, we feel the village will be more than ready to handle the extra demand for the system for many years to come. Currently the village has an unconditional use permit for water treatment and distribution. If you have any questions on upcoming projects or how you can get involved please contact my office.

Thank you for your time.
