Ohio EPA has issued approval of a site for Camden to investigate as a possible alternate well field. The approval is the first step in the process of replacing the village’s present salt-contaminated well field.

The village has been supplying fresh drinking water to residents who do not like the taste of Camden’s water since salt entered the drinking water system in late July. Ohio EPA officials notified village officials that Camden must find a permanent solution.

The proposed well field is north of the salt pile that is presumed to be the source of the current contamination. Indications are that the area will not be affected by the salt; however, test wells must produce adequate water quantity and be free of bacteria or other contaminants.

The new well could be ready to sample early next week.

If water from the wells meets safe drinking water criteria, the village must submit engineering plans to be approved by Ohio EPA.
