The Bluffton Water Department in Bluffton, OH is responsible for providing the community with safe and reliable drinking water. They receive their water from the Village of Ottawa, which draws its water from the Blanchard River. The department ensures that the water is treated to meet drinking water quality standards, although it is important to note that no single treatment technique can address all potential contaminants. They also emphasize the need for source water protection to minimize the risk of water quality impacts. The department highlights the various sources of contamination to drinking water, including microbial contaminants, inorganic contaminants, pesticides and herbicides, organic chemical contaminants, and radioactive contaminants. They adhere to regulations set by the USEPA and FDA to limit the amount of certain contaminants in the water. While the presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate a health risk, certain individuals, such as those with compromised immune systems, should take special precautions and seek advice from their healthcare providers. The department provides information on how to lessen the risk of infection from microbial contaminants and offers resources for further information on potential health effects.Generated from the website
