Where does the Village of Minerva's water come from?
The Village’s drinking water supply comes from a ground water source.
We have three (3) wells located in the Minerva well field that are used to pump ground water to the treatment plant.
Raw water is sent to the treatment plant, where it’s oxidized with chlorine & potassium permanganate.
Finally it’s filtered & a disinfection residual is applied before it’s sent out for consumption.
How is the Village of Minerva's water quality?
These tests are required & regulated by the EPA.
Our water plant works hard to ensure the Village Residents have safe drinking water.
The Consumer Confidence Report can be found here.
When does hydrant flushing occur?
Routine flushing takes place on a quarterly basis, weather permitting.
Flushing is also done in known problem areas more frequently.
Flushing is also done upon request.
Please watch for upcoming flush dates in the following places:

How do I get a remote meter?
Remote meters are available by calling the Water & Sewer Department.
This requires a new meter to be installed & a remote placed outside the home.
This enabled meter reading without entering your home. (In most cases.)
The cost of the remote meters vary.
Payment arrangements can typically be made to help obtain a remote meter.
How do I report water line breaks?
