Batavia Water Quality Summary
Clermont Public Water System supplies drinking water to about 133,059 people in Batavia, Ohio, and draws from surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs), which requires fuller treatment for runoff, sediment, and microbial risk.

EPA records show 2 health-based violations for this system plus 3 monitoring violations. A health-based violation means a contaminant exceeded its legal EPA limit, the most serious category in the Safe Drinking Water Act. The system has 12 enforcement actions on file in response.
Among the 3 substances sampled, Total Trihalomethanes is the clearest concern: a reading of 0.081 mg/l against an EPA limit (MCL) of 80 ppb, about 101% of the legal ceiling, sampled October 2018. In total, 2 contaminant exceedances are recorded for this system.
The most pressing open issue is a treatment technique violation involving Haloacetic Acids (HAA5), beginning April 2023 and still open in EPA records.
