One of the primary goals of the Village is to provide the citizens with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. In order to do this, backflow prevention regulations must be addressed. The Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 3745-95 requires that an approved backflow prevention device be installed on each service line to a consumer’s water system serving premises, where a health, pollution, or system hazard to the public water system may exist. This rule also requires that each device be inspected annually by a certified tester. To check the status of compliance related to your backflow prevention device, please click here.

 

The Village of Ottawa has prepared the Consumer Confidence Report to provide information to you, the consumer, on the quality of the drinking water.  Including in the report linked above is general health information, water quality test results, how to participate in decisions concerning your drinking water and water system contacts.
