Frequently Asked Questions for Water in Uniontown, Ohio
Is Uniontown tap water safe to drink?
Yes. Uniontown’s municipal drinking water meets all EPA and Ohio EPA drinking water standards and has no current violations requiring bottled water or boil advisories. As with all public water systems, small amounts of regulated contaminants may be present but remain within legal limits.
Is Uniontown water hard?
Yes. Uniontown’s water is considered moderately hard to hard, which is common throughout Stark County.
Typical hardness levels generally range from 120–200 mg/L (approximately 7–12 grains per gallon).
Hard water can lead to scale buildup on plumbing and fixtures, reduced soap effectiveness, and increased wear on appliances such as water heaters and dishwashers.
Does Uniontown’s water contain PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)?
Based on the Stark County Water District, local areas such as Uniontown have participated in EPA PFAS monitoring programs, including UCMR testing. PFAS compounds (such as PFOA and PFOS) have been detected in some Ohio water systems, and continued monitoring is required as new EPA PFAS standards take effect. Because PFAS levels can vary by source water and over time, many Uniontown residents choose reverse osmosis or advanced carbon filtration for drinking and cooking water as an added precaution.
Does Uniontown add fluoride to its water?
Yes. Uniontown’s drinking water contains fluoride to support dental health. Testing shows fluoride levels around 1.0 ppm, which is below the maximum contaminant level of 4 ppm.
Fluoride levels are typically maintained around 0.7 ppm, which aligns with EPA and public health recommendations for community water fluoridation.
What other contaminants are in Uniontown’s water?
Based on Stark County and Aqua Ohio testing, Uniontown’s water may contain small amounts of naturally occurring and treatment-related contaminants.
Inorganic contaminants:
- Arsenic: 3.40 (ug/l)
- Barium: 0.013 ppm
- Chlorine: 0.7 ppm
Disinfection byproducts (from chlorination):
- Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs): typically ~45–60 ppb (EPA limit: 80 ppb)
- Haloacetic Acids (HAA5): typically ~30–45 ppb (EPA limit: 60 ppb)
These byproducts form when chlorine interacts with naturally occurring organic matter. While levels are legally compliant, they are often cited by independent health organizations as a reason homeowners explore additional filtration.
Where does Uniontown get its water?
Uniontown’s water is supplied through the Stark County Water District, which purchases water from Aqua Ohio. The water originates from nine groundwater wells in a sand and gravel aquifer within the Tuscarawas River Valley, then treated and distributed throughout the area.
What is the pH level of Uniontown water?
Specific pH values are not listed in the Stark County report, but groundwater systems in this region are typically maintained in a slightly alkaline range to support corrosion control and maintain system stability.
Should I use a water filter or softener in Uniontown?
Yes. Due to hard water and trace disinfection byproducts, many Uniontown homeowners benefit from water treatment systems such as:
- Water softeners to reduce scale and protect plumbing and appliances
- Whole-house carbon filtration to reduce chlorine taste and odor
- Reverse osmosis systems for cleaner, better-tasting drinking and cooking water
Does Uniontown water have a high total dissolved solids (TDS) level?
Total dissolved solids (TDS) measure the combined minerals and dissolved substances in water.
Even at compliant levels, dissolved minerals contribute to taste differences, mineral residue, and scale buildup, especially in homes with hard water. Many Uniontown residents choose filtration or RO systems to reduce TDS for better taste and long-term appliance protection.
Where can I get a local water quality report?
Stark County’s annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is available through the Stark County Water District.
