How does Pioneer Village compare with other water systems in Williams County?
By EPA's size categories, Pioneer Village is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Williams County has 43 active public water systems, and Pioneer Village is the 5th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 131% above the county average of 628 people per system, and accounts for 5.4% of the 27,007 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Ohio, the 3,854 active systems average 2,767 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Pioneer Village is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Ohio has 1,028 active community water systems, 27% of the state's 3,854 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 3,446 Ohio systems (89%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Pioneer Village?
EPA lists Pioneer Village as owned by a local government. The OH state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 8 of the 43 active systems in Williams County (19%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Pioneer Village have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between January 1998 and July 2025. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed and 1 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
