HCRWSD Regional Water Study Groundwater Source Evaluation Study NWSD Public Meeting December 18, 2018 Tom Borck, P.E. Poggemeyer Design Group
History • HCRWSD and the Village of Liberty Center began looking for alternative water sources as options to continuing to purchase water from the City of Napoleon. • How did this grow to involve Toledo satellite systems? • Who is currently involved this this effort – • Henry County Regional Water and Sewer District • NWSD • Liberty Center • Whitehouse • Maumee • Perrysburg • Sylvania • Fulton County and Fayette are currently only observers
What Initiated Groundwater Consideration • AOP approached group members on potential groundwater source – Michindoh Aquifer • Toledo HAB Issue • Increasing and uncertain Ohio EPA regulations • Water rate stability • Evaluating all available options
Study Purpose & Overview • To determine if feasible groundwater alternatives are available to serve not only wholesale customers of Napoleon, but also some wholesale customers currently supplied with Toledo water. • Is there a potential groundwater source that can supply enough water for the entire group. • Is this alternative cost effective.
Option Considered • AOP(Private Entity) approached the satellite systems with a proposal to construct and operate a new groundwater WTP with iron removal and ion exchange with a guaranteed future purchase price and water rate guarantee • Location of new groundwater WTP to be determined • Options include purchasing water at WTP site and the group provide the transmission system or buying water at each entity’s entry point at higher cost
