(From the City of Fostoria)

The City of Fostoria, in partnership with the EPA, is continuing efforts to identify all lead service lines within the city.

Many residents have already reported their service line material to us or had our Water Department verify it in person. However, we still have about 720 properties that remain unidentified in our inventory.

Over the past several months, our staff has completed two rounds of door-to-door outreach to help identify service lines and avoid the need for “potholing” (digging small holes to expose underground pipes).

What’s next?

We are now at the stage of working with a contractor to begin potholing where service line material is still unknown. (More information on potholing is available below.)

You still have time to avoid potholing at your property!

Please help us complete this important project by:

-Submitting your service line material directly to our Water Office OR

-Setting up a free appointment with the Water Department to come out and check your service line. (419-435-2486)

The City will continue to share updates and resources on this project through social media and our website to keep you informed. Thank you for helping us protect our community’s water system!
