Power, water and internet
Who to call to start service at a new address in Oregon.
Power comes from The Toledo Edison
The Toledo Edison (The Toledo Edison Co), an investor-owned utility, serves all of Oregon. Its homes paid an average of 16.5¢ per kWh in 2025, about $127 a month (its average across Ohio, for customers on its standard service). Ohio lets you buy power from another supplier; 69% of The Toledo Edison’s home customers do, and The Toledo Edison still delivers it.
Service territory: HIFLD Electric Retail Service Territories (map dated Aug 2023). Prices and customers: EIA-861, 2025.
Water comes from Oregon City water system
The Oregon City water system supplies Oregon: about 96% of residents live in its service area. About 4% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws surface water (EPA lists City of Toledo as seller) and serves 19,950 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 83% of the 3,525 systems serving 10,001–50,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Dec 2025, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
The system’s full record: EPA ECHO report
EPA SDWIS via Envirofacts (violations pulled Oct 9, 2026) and ECHO (lead samples, 2026Q3); service area: EPA Community Water System Service Area Boundaries v3.0 (EPA’s estimate). Violations are counted by the start of their compliance period. OH4800911.
