FAQ
Additional Information On Zanesville, OH Tap Water
Is Zanesville tap water safe to drink?
Yes. Zanesville’s drinking water meets federal and state drinking water standards.
Is Zanesville tap water hard?
Zanesville’s Consumer Confidence Report does not publish hardness data, so the city does not provide an official hardness level. However, because Zanesville’s water comes from groundwater wells in the Muskingum River Buried Valley Aquifer, many homes may experience mineral content that can contribute to scale buildup on plumbing fixtures, water heaters, dishwashers, and appliances over time. Homeowners interested in their specific hardness level can schedule a water test.
Is there PFAS in Zanesville tap water?
Yes. Zanesville detected several PFAS compounds during EPA Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5) testing, including PFOA (1.2 ppt), PFOS (2.8 ppt), PFBS (3.0 ppt), and PFBA (2.2 ppt). These levels were detected at low concentrations and provide insight into emerging contaminants that may be present in the water supply.
Does Zanesville tap water have fluoride?
Yes. Fluoride is present in Zanesville’s drinking water at approximately 0.85 ppm, which is below the EPA maximum contaminant level of 4.0 ppm and within levels commonly used to support dental health.
Where does Zanesville get its tap water?
Zanesville’s drinking water comes from 12 groundwater wells located within the Muskingum River Buried Valley Aquifer System near Riverside Park along State Route 666. The city also maintains emergency interconnections with the Muskingum County Water Department.
How is Zanesville water treated?
Zanesville treats its drinking water and uses chlorine disinfection to control microbial contaminants before distribution throughout the community. The system continuously monitors water quality to ensure compliance with Ohio EPA and federal drinking water standards.
Do I need a water softener or filter in Zanesville?
While Zanesville’s water meets all applicable drinking water standards, many homeowners choose additional water treatment to address concerns such as PFAS, chlorine taste and odor, sediment, or potential mineral content from groundwater sources. Depending on your water quality goals, a water softener, reverse osmosis system, or whole-house filtration system may help improve water quality throughout the home.
How does Zanesville monitor water quality?
The City of Zanesville conducts ongoing testing throughout its water system and regularly monitors for bacteria, disinfectants, inorganic contaminants, nitrates, volatile organic compounds, lead, copper, and other regulated substances. The city also participates in EPA monitoring programs such as UCMR 5 to track emerging contaminants including PFAS.
