An annual observance established in 1999 to highlight the responsible development, management, and use of groundwater, the event is also a platform to encourage yearly water well testing and well maintenance, and the promotion of policies impacting groundwater quality and supply.
Facts about groundwater
- The average household’s leaks can account for nearly 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
- Ten percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day, according to the EPA.
- Of the estimated 29 billion gallons of water used daily by households in the United States, nearly 9 billion gallons, or 30 percent, is devoted to outdoor water use, according to EPA’s WaterSense program. In the hot summer months, or in dry climates, a household’s outdoor water use can be as high as 70 percent.
- The United States uses 82.3 billion gallons per day of fresh groundwater for public supply, private supply, irrigation, livestock, manufacturing, mining, thermoelectric power, and other purposes, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Ideas for Consumers
- Manage household hazardous waste properly (cleaners, paints, vehicle fluids, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) - Only purchase what you need. Donate unused portions to friends or community organizations. Recycle leftovers when possible. To find recycling/disposal locations visit http://www.summitreworks.com or 330-374-0383.
- Avoid dumping – Never put anything down the sink, toilet or storm drain as it can end up in drinking water sources. Dispose of cleaners, medicines, oil/grease, etc. properly.
- Clean up – Pick up after yourself and your pets. Use trash receptacles and recycle whenever possible. Pet waste can enter storm drains and spread bacteria.
- Use alternative products – Avoid using products that may contain harmful materials; use cast iron or stainless-steel pots and pans instead of non-stick pots and pans.
- Find your source - Identify your source of water and check where you live and work relative to source water areas. The Village of Lakemore source water area is at 2827 Sanitarium Road.
- Conserve water - Use water efficiently to ease the burden on water sources and save money. Repair leaks, use a rain barrel, install low flow devices to toilets and showers, wash full loads of laundry and dishes, etc. For more steps to save water visit WaterSense.
- Limit use of fertilizers and pesticides – Reduce the amount of materials used on your lawn or consider natural alternatives.
- Service your septic system – Have a professional inspect your septic system every 3 years and have it pumped every 3-5 years.
- Participate in volunteer activities - Attend events such as removing invasive plants and replanting natives, stormwater drain stenciling, rain barrel workshops, litter cleanups, etc. Watershed groups are often familiar with upcoming local events.
- If you see something, say something - Report any spills, illegal dumping, or suspicious activity to authorities. The Village of Lakemore reporting number is 330-212-2955 or 9-1-1 if the spill is large. The Ohio EPA hotline is 1-800-282-9378.
The Village of Lakemore is applying for funding from the Ohio Public Works Commission to replace the watermains, improve the sanitary sewer mains, and resurface the roads of Fairdale, Michaels, and Danforth. The application will be submitted before July 1, 2023.
