Water

Membrane-treated well water

Tipp City's water comes from the Northern Area Water Authority, which it shares with Vandalia. Seven wells draw from sand and gravel aquifers along the Great Miami River. At the plant, sand filters take out iron and manganese, and nanofiltration membranes reduce hardness, viruses and other contaminants. Orthophosphate is added to keep corrosion and scaling down in the pipes. The 2025 report doesn't list a hardness figure.

Questions about water quality go to the plant supervisor at 937-506-3194.

Lead lines

Who owns which part

The city says the service line is shared: the homeowner is responsible from the curb stop valve into the building, and the city from the main to the curb stop. If any part of the line has lead or galvanized pipe, it counts as a lead service line, and replacement costs are split the same way. You can look up your address on the city's lead and copper page or at the Engineering Office window at the Government Center, 260 S. Garber Drive. In 2025, none of the 30 homes sampled was over the lead action level.
