Water

A shared membrane plant

Vandalia gets its water from the Northern Area Water Authority, the plant it shares with Tipp City. Its seven wells tap buried sand and gravel aquifers tied to the Great Miami River. Sand filters remove iron and manganese, then nanofiltration membranes cut hardness and other contaminants before chlorine, fluoride and orthophosphate are added. The authority's 2025 report gives no hardness figure, and the plant supervisor answers 937-506-3194.

Lead lines

Check your own line

The city has been filling in its service line inventory as part of a citywide water meter replacement project. To see what's listed for your address, stop by the Development & Engineering Services counter at the Municipal Building, 333 James Bohanan Memorial Dr. You can also check the pipe where it enters the house: if a magnet sticks it's likely galvanized steel, a shiny copper-colored scratch means copper, and a soft pipe that scratches shiny silver means lead.

Homes

1970s homes, gas and electric

The median Vandalia home was built in 1973. Only about 4% are older than 1940 and about 4% date from 2000 or later. About 68% are detached houses and about 36% of households rent. Gas heats about 57% of homes and electricity about 39%, so you'll find both gas and electric tanks around town.

Permits

County plumbing permits, free bulk pickup

The city handles building, mechanical and gas permits through Municity Connect, but interior plumbing permits and inspections go to Public Health - Dayton & Montgomery County, 117 S. Main St. in Dayton, 937-225-4421. City building inspections are scheduled at 937-898-3750.

Rumpke takes up to two bulk items a week at the curb at no charge if you call 1-800-828-8171 at least 24 hours ahead. The city's own drop-off at the City Garage only takes brush, limbs and construction debris.

Before the plumber arrives

  3. Gas smell? Leave the house, then call 911 and your gas utility from outside. National Fuel, which now runs the former CenterPoint Energy Ohio gas utility, answers 1-800-838-0933 around the clock.
