Simple steps you can take at home to  prevent water pollution .


Take a Tour

Watershed Signage

Signage installed at Griggs, O'Shaughnessy & Hoover Reservoirs invites park visitors to  take a self-guided tour along the shoreline & learn about the green infrastructure installed there.

Rain gardens, porous pavement & more can improve the quality of storm water entering the reservoirs that supply our drinking water.

Fluoride

Fluoride is added to Columbus' drinking water as required by the State of Ohio since the early 1970's.

The fluoride concentration in Columbus water has averaged 0.9 part per million (ppm), which is below the allowed limit of 4 ppm.

View the current year's "Consumer Confidence Report" which shows the types and amounts of key elements in your drinking water, their likely sources and the maximum contaminant level (MCL) that is considered safe. The water delivered to your home meets ALL of the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
