Water Department

 

The City of Belpre maintains a full time staff of 3 in its Water Department along with Utility Supervisor, Denzil Ray, located at the Belpre Water Department at 906 Florence Street. The City of Belpre Public Water System receives its drinking water from groundwater supplied by wells. The Belpre well system is fed by the Ohio River Valley aquifer which supplies water to the Ohio River. The City of Belpre Public Water System produces an average 1 million gallons per day of quality drinking water.

The EPA requires regular sampling to ensure drinking water safety. This report is a requirement of the EPA to ensure that the results of all testing required by the EPA which return a positive result are available to all our customers. The City of Belpre Public Water System conducted sampling for chlorine residual, fluoride residual, bacterial, inorganic, and volatile organic and synthetic organic contaminants during 2013. Samples were collected for more than twenty different contaminants. The Ohio EPA requires us to monitor for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Because of monitoring requirements, some of our data, though accurate, may be more than one year old.

The Ohio EPA completed a Source Water Assessment for the City of Belpre in August 2002

The Water Department reads residential, commercial, and industrial meters. The readings are then forwarded to the finance office for billing.
