DAYTON PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM is among the 18 largest community water systems in Ohio, serving 141,407 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 11 entries between 1992 and 2009, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2009.
Of the 11, 7 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, synthetic organic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.
