ORWA Member Testimonials
Village of Butler
I just wanted you to know how much we at the Village of Butler appreciate the services that you have provided to our community over the years. We have had water loss issues for years, due to our sandstone subsurface many of our leaks do not show up so it is really difficult to locate. Recently Allen Wobler was able to sound a leak for us, that did not surface. Upon excavation we discovered a joint leak that was escaping into 4” drain line that terminated below water level in a nearby creek. This is an 85 year old 4” main at 75psi. Once repaired we reduced our pump flows by nearly 100,000 gpd.

Village of Verona
We would like to thank the Ohio Rural Water Association (especially Tim Ballard) for all the help with our WPA line and other Village projects. Your assistance over the years has been helpful in resolving problems and saving the Village money. We greatly appreciate the cost savings and recommend the Ohio Rural Water Association to others. We look forward to working with Ohio Rural Water Association for many years to come.

Village of Baltic
The ORWA assisted the Village of Baltic in smoke testing our sanitary sewer system with equipment and experience, and we are very appreciative. Your Wastewater Technician, Shawn Dobson, led the project which turned out to be very successful. He informed the volunteers on what to look for and document, and answered all questions and challenges. He worked well with our new employee, Travis Smith, and was very encouraging.
With our little village of 800 people and 369 water/sewer hookups, we simply have no monies to accomplish many of the unfunded mandates. We do suffer continually at the WWTP with increased I&I during rains. Now a number of defects were identified during the smoke testing.
Our Board of Public Affairs conveys sincere thanks to your Association for the tremendous impact you provided with the smoke testing, and ultimately the long term improvements to our collection system.

Village of Arcanum
The Village of Arcanum would like to extend a warm thank you to Mr. Shawn Dobson, Wastewater Technician and the Ohio Rural Water Association for the Smoke Test Training held here. Mr. Dobson did an exceptional job to ensure the training was carried out properly to meet all the requirements and that each person being trained understood the objectives he was teaching. As the new Village Administrator I appreciate that he took the time to make sure that I understood the next steps to take after testing was complete. Thank you again for a very productive, informative, and successful program.
