About Us
For more Ohio resources & information
Ohio Water Utility Companies
Marietta's water supply comes from seven manufacturing wells situated in a sand and gravel aquifer. Surrounding areas are protected within boundaries approved by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to alert the public about lands that could potentially introduce contaminants to our water supply through improper chemical use or accidental spills.
These protected zones are clearly marked with signs that include emergency contact information. In 2015, the Ohio EPA updated and approved Marietta's Source Water Protection Plan, classifying our water source as having a HIGH susceptibility to contamination due to several factors:
- Shallow aquifer depth (less than 30 feet below ground)
- Thin protective soil layer above the aquifer
- Previous detection of organic contaminants like PCE
- Presence of significant potential contamination sources in the protection area
Current water quality management includes monthly monitoring of tetrachloroethylene (PCE), continuous pumping and aeration of interceptor wells to remove contaminants, hourly testing, and implementation of Tier 1 water sampling to gather data on source water chemistry. The city also issues boil advisories after water main breaks, conducts hydrant flushing to remove mineral deposits, and replaces lead service lines with plastic pipes during repairs.
Recent infrastructure improvements include main replacements on Greene Street and Colegate Drive (2015), Hadley Lane and Sherry Drive (2016), and major tank maintenance projects including the 676 and Harmar Water Tanks receiving new coating systems and substantial repairs to the 2 M.G. Plant Storage Tank in 2017.

Marietta City PWS Municipal Water Company and CDCFrequently Asked Questions About Our Childcare Program
- Where does Marietta City PWS water come from?
Marietta City PWS supplies groundwater to Marietta, Ohio. - Does Marietta City PWS test its tap water?
Yes. Like every public water system, Marietta City PWS must test its water under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and publish an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report). Ask the utility for the latest report or look for it on its website. - How do I contact Marietta City PWS?
Call 740-373-3515 or visit 304 Putnam Street, Marietta, OH 45750, or use the contact options on the utility’s website. - Does Marietta City PWS water contain lead?
Water usually leaves the treatment plant without lead. Lead can enter tap water from older service lines, solder and brass fixtures inside homes, especially when water sits in the pipes. Run the tap before drinking if water has been sitting, and ask the utility about lead testing and service line records. - Is Marietta City PWS water hard?
Hardness depends on the source and changes over time. The annual water quality report lists hardness, or you can test it at home. If it is above about 7 grains per gallon, a water softener sized to your measured hardness will stop scale and spotting.
