Village of Bellville Water Source

The Village of Bellville presently operates two 12″ wells that are approximately 92′ deep. They are capable of producing about 1,000,000 gallons of water a day. Water is then pumped into three storage tanks, their combined storage capacity equal to 544,000 gallons. The average daily use for Bellville is 195,000 gallons of water per day.

The EPA requires regular sampling to ensure drinking water safety. The village conducted sampling on hundreds of contaminates and none were found to be above their requirements.

Water and Sewer Rates

There is a minimum bi-monthly water/sewer rate of $57.40.

SEWER 2 CHARGE: This is an additional sewer charge to provide funds that will help pay for the new sewer plant. It is $3.00/ 1000 gallons of sewer the customer adds to the sewer system. This rate is capped at $24 for 8000 gallons for residential customers and $114 for 38,000 gallons for commercial customers.

The single biggest cause of high water bills in a home is a leaking toilet. To check to see if your toilet is leaking, place a couple drops of food coloring in the toilet tank and let it sit undisturbed. The color will appear in the bowl if the toilet has a leak.
