More Water, Please

Industrial growth has spurred the Village of Delta to request tapping into Fulton County’s water system for half a million gallons per day. County Commissioners approved the village proposal and will apply on its behalf to the Toledo Regional Water Authority. The village will also consider increasing the capacity of its water plant, which is currently at 1.2 million gallons per day. Officials say demand from Worthington Industries, NatureFresh, the impending Nova Steel plant on County Road H…and other possible projects in the works will require greater water capacity. During warm weather months Delta’s water capacity exceeds the Environmental Protection Agency’s allowance of 80% of its water plant’s capacity. The EPA suggested that once the plant overtakes usage of 900,000 gallons per day…the village should pursue additional water capacity.
