Aqua Ohio says water in Poland meets safety standards

POLAND — Aqua Ohio is trying various techniques in attempting to pinpoint what’s causing a gritty film on some customers’ dishes.

“We’re in the middle of our flushing program where we flush the hydrants to scour the lines,” said Al Sauline, Aqua vice president. “You can get a discoloration of the water, and some deposits may be seen on glasses, most likely lime deposits.”

For now, the company has stopped the flushing, he said.

Some Poland residents have complained about what they describe as a gritty, white or gray film on their dishes. The substance is especially visible after dishes go through the dishwasher.
