Now in its 12th year, the Purveyors Group serves as a forum for water purveyors to exchange ideas and information on a variety of water issues. Over the years the Group's meetings have proven to be quite useful in better informing water purveyors in the Miami Valley Region on a variety of issues. In some cases, the meetings have become regional forums for a number of State regulatory issues such as depressurization and disinfection policies, lead and copper regulations, and wellhead protection. The Group often hosts representatives from the Ohio EPA and other regulatory agencies who not only inform the participants of upcoming regulatory issues, but can also listen and respond to specific questions and concerns brought forward by individuals and the Group as a whole. The meetings focus on a variety of policy, regulatory and operational topics.
Attendance is limited to staff and managers from public water supplies within southwest Ohio.
