The Planning and Zoning Commission is asked on June 18, 2026 to certify an amendment to the Westminster Water Service Area map moving property SDAT No. 0707-111932 from Future Water Service (W-5) to Priority Water Service (W-3). This follows a March 10, 2026 request from the City of Westminster and reflects an expected additional 288 GPD of water demand for a proposed 3,200 square foot office use tied to County File S-23-0015, Great Valley Propane, which is also undergoing annexation into the City. The amendment is a prerequisite for the office building to connect to public water under the Town/County Agreement and aligns with comprehensive plan goals to support commercial and industrial growth where infrastructure can feasibly be provided. While no construction contract is discussed in this document, moving the parcel into the Priority water service area and completing annexation is a clear precursor to site development, utility extension, and related design and construction procurements on the property. Vendors in civil engineering, site utilities, and commercial building delivery can position around upcoming detailed design, permitting support, and build-out needs once the designation and annexation are finalized.

The City uses a 90 GPD per 1000 sq ft office multiplier; added 288 GPD demand does not require chang...

Why this matters for vendors

Early signals like this typically surface 6–18 months before a formal RFP is posted. Vendors who engage during the planning window help shape requirements, build relationships with decision-makers, and position ahead of the competition before the solicitation goes public.

The report explains that Ottawa failed to timely demonstrate to Ohio EPA that it had delivered required lead service line notifications by July 1, 2025, resulting in a warning letter and subsequent corrective actions. To address this, the Village is working with Arcadis engineering to gain the information needed to build and maintain a complete service line inventory and has since provided required notifications and data to the State as of January 9, 2026. This confirms that Arcadis is the incumbent engineering partner on lead service line inventory work, with a likely need for ongoing data management, mapping, and compliance reporting as Lead and Copper Rule requirements evolve. Vendors offering GIS/asset management tools, customer notification platforms, lead service line replacement planning, and related consulting can position themselves either as complementary solutions alongside Arcadis or for future phases beyond the inventory stage.

Arcadis is currently engaged on the service line inventory; future opportunities may include replace...

Ottawa’s report notes that it completed required PFAS monitoring under the federal 2024 PFAS drinking water rule by participating in the UCMR 5 program, with sampling throughout 2024. The Village reports that regulated PFAS compounds PFOA and PFOS were non-detect and thus compliant, while several other PFAS (PFHxA, PFPeA, PFBS, PFBA) and lithium were detected at low levels as unregulated contaminants. Although no immediate treatment change is mandated, continued detection of unregulated PFAS and lithium positions the Village to consider future monitoring enhancements, risk communication, and potential treatment options if regulations tighten. Vendors specializing in PFAS sampling, laboratory analysis, risk assessment, and advanced treatment (e.g., GAC, ion exchange, membrane systems) can engage early to help Ottawa plan proactive strategies before any future regulatory triggers or funding opportunities emerge.

Current PFAS results are compliant, but low-level detections of several unregulated PFAS suggest fut...

The 2025 Consumer Confidence Report notes that the Village of Ottawa’s water system exceeded the Maximum Contaminant Level for Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) in the fourth quarter of 2025, triggering a drinking water violation. In response, the Village is adjusting treatment processes at the plant to optimize disinfection, reduce disinfection by-product formation, and is increasing system monitoring and sampling, with an expectation to return to compliance by the second quarter of 2026. This indicates active technical work on treatment optimization and distribution system monitoring that may require process engineering support, analytical services, and potentially new treatment equipment or control strategies. Vendors offering water treatment consulting, disinfection by-product reduction technologies, advanced monitoring, or SCADA/control optimization could engage with the Water Treatment Director to support both short-term compliance and longer-term system upgrades.

Measures already underway include adjusting treatment processes, optimizing chlorine feed rates, and...
