ELYRIA WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 180 community water systems in Ohio in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 68,000 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1997 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.
Of the 10, 5 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Surface Water Treatment Rules, the Lead and Copper Rule, and inorganic chemicals.
