The Highland County Water
Company serves Highland County and the surrounding areas with drinking
and tap water. The company receives its water from six wells.
These wells are located on two well fields, one near Bainbridge, the
other in the Paint Creek area. Both well fields pump water from
an underground aquifer to the water treatment plant.
The sources of drinking and tap
water include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and
wells. When water travels over land and is absorbed into the
ground, it can pick up minerals and other substances. To ensure
safe drinking water the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain
contaminants. The presence of contaminates does not necessarily
indicate that water poses a health risk. For more information
about water contaminates and safe drinking water contact the EPA's
Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
The Highland County Water
Company reports any water line problems to the public as soon as
possible, and these public service announcements can be heard on local
radio station
WSRW, 106.7 FM. Before digging
or construction work, you are required by law to call the Ohio Utility
Protection Service at 1-800-362-2764 to have the utilities located for
you.
