Cleaner Water From Every Tap

What's in Fairlawn's Water?

The numbers your water utility reports, in plain sight

Fairlawn's tap water comes from Akron City Public Water System, serving 280,000 people. In the most recent reported data, 26 contaminants were detected, and 13 of them exceed EWG health guidelines. Here's what that means for your house.

Reported levels, 2013-2023

To be fair to the utility: these levels comply with federal legal limits where limits exist. What they exceed are EWG's stricter health guidelines, which are based on current health research rather than regulatory compromise. Five more contaminants exceed guidelines beyond the eight shown here. See the full utility report at EWG's Tap Water Database. Data period 2013-2023. Figures read 2026-10-01.

The part that matters for your house

Utility numbers are the starting point, not your answer

These are system-wide averages. What comes out of your tap depends on your pipes, your neighborhood, and whether you are on city water or a private well. The only way to know what your family is actually drinking is to test the water at your own faucet.

Clear Choice Water Co. tests the water at your own tap anywhere in Fairlawn, explains the results in plain English, and only then recommends treatment, sized to what your water actually shows.
