A reliable water system requires ongoing investment in the infrastructure that delivers safe drinking water to homes and businesses every day.
The City of Toledo is making significant investments to modernize our water system, replace aging infrastructure, improve reliability, and protect public health.
From replacing lead service lines to constructing new water towers and upgrading treatment facilities, these projects are designed to ensure Toledo's water system continues to serve our community for generations to come.
