The Wastewater Treatment Plant

The Village's Wastewater Treatment Plan processed approximantely 187,000,000 gallons of wastewater annually. Twenty-six miles of sewer lines (Some are stormwater and others sanitary) were maintained by Village staff. As in all Ohio communities this was done under the watchful eye of the Ohio EPA which issues permits for operation of wastewater facilities. Our wastewater facility consists of two lagoons in which effluent from homes and commercial operations is treated in series to process the wastewater with bio-augmentation and aeration. The first lagoon (2.2 acres) is primary treatment and the second (3.0 acres) is the final step in treatment allowing the release of the clean water to the receiving waters, the Portage River in our case.

Capacity: 300,000 gallons per day plant.

Usage Per Day or Flow to Plant: 333,000 gal per day average flow.

Year Built: 1968 - 1969. The second lagoon was added in 2001.

We will monitor the quality of the water at the outfalls during rain and snow melt events as the enter the river.

The Electric Department

Customers Served: 992

Amp Ohio:
A non-profit corporation organized in Ohio in 1971 for the purpose of owning and operating electric facilities or otherwise providing for the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power and energy to its members. Amp-Ohio purchases wholesale electric power and energy, and sells it to members at rates based on the purchase prices plus a small service fee. The organization also develops alternate power resources to best meet members’ short-and long-term needs. It also operates an energy control center 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to serve its member communities.

Major Improvements:
New distribution lines from substation into system, continued pole replacements and wire upgrades have been undertaken. A diesel driven backup generation unit was set onsite at the Utilities site next to the substation. This unit provides for peaking opportunities when the consumption of power in the Village reaches high levels as well as providing the Village with power in the event of an incoming loss of power.

Maintenance:
The utility department maintains 11 miles of electric lines, all poles, wire, transformers, house drops, street lights, traffic lights, and meters.

Other Information About the Electric System:
The new substation is fed from Toledo Edison transmission lines at 69,000 volts and the substation steps it down to our primary distribution of 4,160. It has the capacity to serve many times the load in the future than we are servicing now.
