The village of Russells Point and Ohio RCAP were honored at the Ohio Conference of Community Development, Inc.’s summer meeting for their water treatment plant upgrade project, which involved installing granular activated carbon (GAC) to the existing treatment plant to reduce total organic carbon in treated water. The village was under findings and orders from the Ohio EPA to correct MCL violations for trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids. The deficiencies relate to the disinfection by-products rule in the Safe Drinking Water Act.
