Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Report 2024
Is my drinking water safe?
In 2024, as in years past, your tap water has met or exceeded U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Ohio EPA drinking water health standards.
What is the source of your drinking water?
The Wellington Public Water System (PWS) has prepared this report to provide information to you, the consumer, on the quality of our drinking water. Included in this report is general health information, water quality test results, and how to participate in decisions concerning your drinking water and water system contacts.
The Wellington (PWS) draws water from the Wellington Up-ground Reservoir. The water source for the Up-ground Reservoir is the Charlemont Creek and its watershed which drains into the West Branch of the Black River. The watershed is fed by runoff from the southwest part of Lorain County and parts of Ashland and Huron Counties.
Protecting our drinking water source from contamination is the responsibility of all area residents. Please dispose of hazardous chemicals in the proper manner and report polluters to the appropriate authorities. Only by working together can we ensure an adequate safe supply of water for future generations. A source water assessment report was done by the Ohio EPA in 2002. The assessment determined Wellington’s source water to be highly susceptible to contamination. A copy of the source water assessment report is available upon request. See contact information at the end of this report.
