ODRC-PICKAWAY CORRECTION PWS serves 3,376 people in FREDRICKTOWN, Ohio using Groundwater water sources. It has 129 recorded EPA violations, including 7 health-based violations. PFAS "forever chemicals" were detected in UCMR5 testing (1 compound found).

Water Quality Snapshot: ODRC-PICKAWAY CORRECTION PWS

ODRC-PICKAWAY CORRECTION PWS is a state-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 3,376 residents in FREDRICKTOWN, Ohio (Pickaway County) through 40 service connections. Its water is drawn from groundwater sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 129 total violations for this system , of which 7 (5%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 109 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2025.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is Revised Total Coliform Rule, recorded in 6 violations (MON). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 1 PFAS compound was detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 23.8 ppt. PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.

Across Ohio, EPA tracks 4,181 public water systems serving 11,085,226 people, with 288,388 cumulative violations and 52,412 health-based violations on record. About 90% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 69 violations. ODRC-PICKAWAY CORRECTION PWS's 129 violations sit above the Ohio average. Statewide, 204 of 346 UCMR5-tested systems have reported PFAS detections (59%). All figures above are sourced directly from EPA SDWIS and UCMR5 public data releases and are updated as EPA publishes new reporting cycles.
