Water Dept.

The Board of Public Affairs administers the South Amherst water system, including billing and repair of water lines located on public property.  Village water is delivered to us by the Rural Lorain County Water System.  For information regarding the system or for turn-on and turn-off requests, please call the Board of Public Affairs Clerk at 440-986-7491.

For Water Emergencies, please contact Mayor Schmitz at 440-714-4247 or Dennis Hevener at 440-320-8037 for assistance.

Water payments can be paid at the following:

  •  South Amherst Village Hall
  •  Piggy's Main Street Market
  •  Drug Mart on Leavitt Road in Amherst

There will be an increase in our water bills of 3% in 2010 due to a rate hike of 21% by Lorain County Rural Water, our water supplier.
