Utilities:
Northwest Ohio’s utility infrastructure is endless, featuring an array
of accessible and reliable services that encompass the region’s major
business areas.
Several electrical
utility companies power the region, including FirstEnergy Corp., American
Electric Power and Buckeye Power, and
a number of municipal facilities. These companies are committed to providing
users with competitively priced, reliable electricity,
translating into lower operating costs for commercial and residential users.
Natural gas providers, such as Columbia Gas of Ohio and Ohio Gas, also provide
reliable and efficient service.
As a value-added benefit, utility companies serving Northwest Ohio offer customized economic development programs and incentives to businesses, generating competitive solutions to new and existing operations.
The fresh waters of Lake Erie border the northern portion of the 11-county region, providing an ample supply of water resources at some of the lowest prices in North America for industrial, commercial and residential use.
Our communities carefully manage our wastewater capacity to accommodate future development and expansion opportunities.

WATER TREATMENT
Most of Northwest Ohio is located within the watershed of the Great Lakes,
the second largest source of fresh water, by volume, in the world.
As such, the effects of potential periods of drought are minor. Treated
water is available
in the developed parts of the region. The service usually can be extended
to meet additional demand, or to increase geographic
coverage.
The existing City
of Toledo water treatment plant has a capacity of 181 mgd
and an average use of about 78 mgd. In essence, this is more than ample capacity
to supply 500,000 to 600,000 gallons per day to a new customer.
