THE WAY INTERNATIONAL is one of 1,399 community water systems in Ohio in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 248 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 13 entries between 1986 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 13, 12 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 inorganic chemicals, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Lead and Copper Rule.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?

It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
