The City of Ravenna is making significant upgrades to its municipal water system. Currently, the system is supplied by three wells with an average depth of 210 ft. Completed in 2014, the system is served by two wells with a maximum pumping capacity of 1,200 GPM and an additional 300,000 capacity water tower. The average daily demand is 270,000 gallons and the historic peak daily demand is 1,000,000 gallons. In 2015 Ravenna’s water system was upgraded to a 300,000 gallon water tower. A new well and new distribution lines were also installed to complete the water project. A minimum base rate for all water utilities is $24 per month. In addition to the minimum base rate, each user shall pay $1.50 for each 1,000 gallons used. Usage in excess of 100,000 gallons shall be at the rate of $1.25 for each 1,000 gallons used.
