In order to better serve the village residents we have recently moved all of the administrative offices into the Town Hall.  This includes the Mayor, Assistant Village Administrator, Clerk-Treasurer, Utility Billing Clerk, Income Tax Administrator, and Zoning Inspector.  Since the first of the year we have gone to a monthly meter reading in an effort to eliminate having the three month catch-up bill and also aide the resident in finding possible water leaks that lead to large bills.  The Village of West Alexandria Water Department is committed to providing "You" the customer with safe water and dependable service.

This is an annual report on the quality of water delivered by West Alexandria Water Department.  It meets the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requirements for "Consumer Confidence Reports" and contains information on the source of our water, its constituents, and the health risks associated with any contaminants.  Water quality and analysis data are available at the Town Hall office, located at 16 North Main Street.  Should you have any questions concerning this report or information concerning the West Alexandria water system, please contact Chris Day, Superintendent of Water & Wastewater  Department at 839-4151.

Contaminant Monitoring Definitions

In this table you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we've provided the following definitions:

Non-Detects (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the contaminant is not present.

Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.

Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.

Parts per trillion (ppt) or Nanograms per liter (nanograms/l) - one part per trillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000,000.

Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.
Million Fibers per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers.

Less Than  =  <

Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person.

Variances & Exemptions (V&E) - State or EPA permission not to meet an MCL or a treatment technique under certain conditions. Not Given In Ohio

Action Level - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

Treatment Technique (TT) - (mandatory language) A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Maximum Contaminant Level - (mandatory language) The "Maximum Allowed" (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water.  MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal - (mandatory language) The "Goal"(MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health.  MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
