The Water Plant Superintendent for the City of Troy is
Mr. Tim Ray. The Water Treatment Plant is located at 300 E. Staunton Rd.,
Troy, OH 45373. The phone number is (937) 339-4826. The fax number is (937)
339-0838.
The mission of the Troy Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is to
provide an adequate supply of drinking water, complying with all Federal and State of Ohio
health and aesthetic standards. After treatment, water is maintained at a sufficient
pressure for residential, commercial, industrial, and fire fighting purposes. The City of
Troy provides water to parts of Miami County's and Troy's 24,000 residents. The WTP is
staffed 24 hr./day, 365 days/year.
The City of Troy obtains its public drinking water supplies
from buried valley sand and gravel aquifers associated with the Great Miami River. The
City currently utilizes ten (10) production wells to draw water from the aquifer for
treatment at the water plant. These wells are located at the Miami Shores Golf Course and
the Troy Municipal Park adjacent to the Great Miami River. The raw well water is pumped to
the Water Treatment Plant where it is softened, clarified, disinfected, and filtered prior
to being pumped to our water customers. We currently pump about 4.2 million gallons of
water each day to the system with final hardness of approximately 120 mg/L.
In 1999, plant treatment expansion projects were completed to allow future
treatment capacity up to 16 million gallons per day. We now have emergency power
to the plant and both well fields. Planned improvements for 2009 include water
tower maintenance and repainting, as well as recoating two of the upflow
clarification basins. One, and possibly two, new test wells will be sited and
drilled.
To arrange a Water Plant tour or obtain additional information,
please contact the WTP Superintendent, Tim Ray, at (937)339-4826 between the hours of
7 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday. More information about drinking water can be obtained
by calling the Safe Drinking Water Hot Line at (800) 426-4791.
