Water

Softened well water

Englewood runs its own water system. Seven wells in three well fields pump from the Stillwater Buried Valley Aquifer, and the treatment plant filters out iron and manganese before the water goes out. City Council approved a softening expansion in 2017, the softening unit went into service on April 29, 2020, and the city's 2021 report put hardness at 150 ppm. The 2025 report doesn't list a hardness figure.

Even softened, 150 ppm leaves some scale in a tank over the years, so a yearly flush still helps. The city's water and sewer page says Englewood water has been fluoridated since 1973.

Lead lines

No lead on the list

Englewood's 2024 service line inventory lists 4,628 lines, and every one is classed as non-lead on both the city's side and the homeowner's side. Most are copper, with some plastic. In the 2025 report, none of the 57 homes sampled for lead was over the action level.

Homes

1970s homes, plenty of electric

The median Englewood home was built in 1976, and about 14% date from 2000 or later. About 58% of homes heat with gas and 41% with electricity, so electric water heaters are common here too. About 68% of homes are detached houses, and about 29% of households rent.

Permits

County plumbing, Rumpke pickup

The city's building page says plumbing permits are processed through Montgomery County, and it links to Public Health Dayton and Montgomery County's plumbing inspection program. Public Health lists a replacement installation permit at $30, plus $14 for each fixture or device installed. Call its plumbing office at 937-225-4421 to confirm what your job needs.

Rumpke takes one bulk item a week on your regular trash day, and the city says you don't have to call ahead. Set the old tank out with your trash.
