Northern Ohio Rural Water Municipal Water Report Info

Northern Ohio Rural Water was established on December 12, 1988 as Erie Huron County Rural Water Authority under Chapter 6119 of the Ohio Revised Code to provide safe, potable water to residents in portions of Erie, Huron and Lorain Counties.

Construction of the initial 210 mile water distribution network began in April 1990 through seven construction contracts. In March 1991, during this construction phase, an eighth contract expanded NORW's service area. By fall 1991, all eight construction projects were substantially completed, serving approximately 2700 customers. The finished water supply comes through a purchase agreement with the City of Elyria, Ohio.

Service began in spring 1991, and steady growth has resulted in NORW now serving about 9,615 connections and over 33,600 residents. The distribution system includes approximately 800 miles of water mains, 10 pumping stations, 11 water storage tanks with 4.65 million gallons combined capacity, 9 main line pressure reduction stations, and 7 chlorine injection stations.

Beyond systematic expansion along county and township roadways, NORW has extended into northwest Erie County and Sandusky County, adding over 20 miles of new water lines serving approximately 400 customers along Sandusky Bay's south shore. This expansion included a new elevated water storage tank and booster pump station, with water supplied through cooperation with Erie County Sanitary District.

Additional projects in Sandusky County added 36 miles of water lines in Green Creek, York, Sandusky and Riley Townships. In 2007, Northern Ohio Rural Water installed over 800 new service connections. A major Huron County project added 55+ miles of water lines serving 340+ new connections. In 2008, 72 miles of water lines were constructed in Huron and Seneca counties, plus a 400,000-gallon water tower in Reed Township. In 2009, a pump station was installed in Havana Village and connections were completed to the Holiday Lakes Community in Willard.

  5. Is Northern Ohio Rural Water 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.
