The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has created a Guidance for Premise Plumbing Water Service Restoration to share considerations for water service restoration that minimize risks associated with stagnant water and water quality degradation.
When buildings or homes are vacant for any reason, decreased water usage may lead to possible water quality degradation.
This document shares guidelines to follow for water service restoration, including disinfection, testing, and flushing. It also lists additional resources with more information.
