Monday, October 6 -- Aqua Ohio is assuring customers served by our Massillon Water Treatment Plant that drinking water is safe to use as normal following an incident outside of our plant Monday morning. While accepting delivery of treatment chemicals, a small amount of chlorine was mistakenly mixed with fluoride by the driver, who was not an Aqua employee, temporarily leading to an evacuation of the plant and two nearby businesses due to air quality concerns. That evacuation order has been lifted and there are no longer any air quality concerns. No Aqua employees were injured, and the driver was treated and released from a nearby medical center. Again, our plant is operating normally and there are no drinking water concerns. Customers with questions can call our customer service team at 877.987.2782.

On the way out to his car, Travis Leonard realized his clothes were covered in dog fur, but he didn’t have time to change. He grabbed an extra bath towel he had lying around to place on his seat for protection.
