The Village of Crestline Utility Office is responsible for administering the billing, collection and enforcement policies of the Village of Crestline Water and Wastewater Utilities. 

Water and sewer accounts can be paid for in person at the Utility Collections Office, by mail, or by electronic funds transfer through a customer’s bank.

Water and sewer accounts are billed monthly the greater of, the actual water that passes through the meter, or a minimum service fee if there is no usage.

Any water leak, no matter how large or small, can increase your monthly bill. The most common undetected leak is a running toilet. If you discover a leak or notice a substantial increase in your monthly bill, contact our utilities department at (419) 683-3800 and they will be glad to assist you. The Village of Crestline does not offer pool fill credits on utility bills.

Ohio EPA Service Line Inventory

A copy of the Ohio EPA service line inventory can be viewed at Village Hall

During times of increased flow through the distribution system, iron deposits get dislodged. Those deposits are the cause of the discoloration in your water. The increased flow occurs during normal hydrant flushing operations or because of a break in a main service line.

We care about you and the quality of water provided to you. Our Service Department Team will flush the lines in your neighborhood to remove the discoloration and sediment in the distribution system.

Though rusty water may look and taste unpleasant, it is not generally a health concern. Iron in water is not a sign of harmful bacteria or lead, which are hazards. The limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for iron in drinking water are based on aesthetics (taste, odor, color), not safety concerns. The Village of Crestline meets all drinking water standards including those set for iron.

If you notice your water is discolored do not do laundry until the water runs clear, if you have already started doing laundry do not dry any clothing until the disturbance is over. When the water runs clear, re-wash the items before drying. Your local grocery carries “Iron Out” and other similar products that will remove discoloration from clothing if it is stained.

Most importantly, if you experience a rust color in your water, first make sure your hot water faucet is off and run the cold water for at least 5-10 minutes to see if it runs clear, if not please call the Village of Crestline at 419-683-3800, giving your location, so someone can respond and help you determine if you need a plumber or if flushing a hydrant near your home can help.

Sincerely,

John Rostash

Village Administrator
