Drinking water · reported to EPA

Water comes from Lordstown Village PWS

Lordstown Village PWS supplies Lordstown: about 78% of residents live in its service area. About 22% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It buys treated surface water (EPA lists Mahoning Valley Sanitary District and Newton Falls City and Niles City PWS and Warren City PWS as sellers) and serves 3,515 people in all.

No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people.

Lead, 90th percentile0.0 ppb
015 ppb action level20

The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Dec 2026, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 2.4 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
