Difference between TAWA & TRWC

• Toledo retains ownership of plant!
• Toledo remains the

Obligor on the debt For the infrastructure

• Toledo retains ultimate

Control over rates

Tol edo Regional Wat er Commission

• Proposed ordinance deemed passed unless ¾ of

the City Council members reject the Ordinance within 45 days after it is placed on the agenda

• Commission shall review the Capital Improvement

Budget of Toledo’s water utility and may submit amendments as it deems necessary

• So long as the proposed amendments are

supported by existing or projected revenue, the Clerk of Toledo Council shall incorporate an amendment to the CIP into an ordinance and place

Tol edo Regional Wat er Commission

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

Potential Well Sites

Current Status

• Drilled 4 test or observation wells to determine

depths and location of Aquifers

• Pump tested an existing irrigation well to evaluate

performance of the aquifer

• Groundwater source appears to be very robust.

The pump testing showed very little impact to the aquifer when pumping at 1,400 gpm for 72 hours.

What Next?

• Each participant is evaluating current information
• The Group needs to decide whether or not to take the

next steps:

• Additional Well Drilling
• Groundwater Modeling
• Waterline routing and costs
• Who will continue to be involved

Summary

• An intergovernmental agreement was formed to

allow the various governmental agencies to work together to seek an alternate water source.

• Exploratory wells have been drilled to begin the

evaluation.

• Water is available, need to confirm quantity and long-

term viability.

• Need to determine who wants to continue with the

next steps.

Thank you!
