Water

Six wells, no lead in the mains

Springboro pumps from six wells in the buried valley aquifer along the Great Miami River. The water is filtered and treated with chlorine and fluoride at the city plant, which Veolia operates; questions go to its project leader at 937-748-9453. The 2025 report doesn't mention softening or give a hardness figure.

The report says the distribution system has no lead, based on records, plumbing codes and visual checks. It also discloses a 2025 paperwork violation for late lead-line notices to the state, which the city says it fixed on December 18, 2025.

Lead lines

Older homes only

The city's lead pipe survey says homes built after 1986 don't need to respond, since lead pipe wasn't used by then. For older homes, check the pipe on the inlet side of the water meter, or where the line enters the house if the meter is in an outside pit. Questions go to the Service Department at 937-748-0020.

Homes

Newer, owner-occupied homes

The median Springboro home was built in 1996. Only about 3% are older than 1940 and about 39% date from 2000 or later. About 86% are detached houses and only about 11% of households rent. Gas heats about 71% of homes and electricity about 28%.

Permits

County permits, Rumpke bulk pickup

Plumbing permits in Warren County come from the Warren County Health District, which lists $50 for a water heater only job. Fees double if work starts before you apply.

Rumpke handles trash, recycling and bulk-item pickups for the city on Thursday or Friday, depending on your street. Set items at the curb the night before, and call Rumpke at 1-800-828-8171 about an old tank.

Before the plumber arrives

Safe steps for Springboro homes

Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
Turn off the gas valve or the breaker for the heater.
Gas smell? The city says Springboro is served by two gas utilities, Duke Energy and the former Vectren (later CenterPoint Ohio, now National Fuel). Leave the house, then call 911 and the gas company on your bill from outside.
