The City of Cuyahoga Falls Water Utilities Department did not exceed any of the federally mandated maximum contaminant levels, nor did it need any variances of exemptions. Also met, were all of the requirements of our prescribed Treatment Techniques. The City of Cuyahoga Falls uses well water as a source.

The City's water supply comes from 18 drilled wells located in Water Works Park on the south bank of the Cuyahoga River. This area is part of a buried valley where permeable outwash gravels are crossed by major streams.

The Cuyahoga Falls water treatment plant, which is located at 2028 Munroe Falls Avenue, uses well water as a source. The well field consists of 18 wells located in Water Works Park on the south bank of the Cuyahoga River. This well field is the source of raw water for the water treatment plant.

Chlorine is added to disinfect the water, fluoride is added for protection from tooth decay, and caustic soda and orthophosphate are added for corrosion control and pH adjustment. Finished water is distributed to 55,000 customers across Cuyahoga Falls, Munroe Falls, and Silver Lake.

As smaller suspended particles are removed, turbidity disappears and clear water collects in the under-drain system and flows to the clearwell, where we add chlorine dioxide for disinfection and fluoride to prevent tooth decay in children.
