Corona Virus Update
EPA encourages the continued use of tap water, as COVID-19 has not been detected in drinking water supplies. EPA has established regulations with treatment requirements for public water systems that prevent waterborne pathogens such as viruses from contaminating drinking water and wastewater. COVID-19 is a type of virus that is particularly susceptible to disinfection and standard treatment and disinfectant processes are expected to be effective.
Ohio EPA and the Ohio Department of Health has issued guidance on flushing water systems for buildings that have been closed or saw reduced water usage due to limited usage. You can find a copy here or at the Ohio EPA Division of Drinking Water
