Is Youngstown OH tap water safe to drink in 2026?

Youngstown tap water meets EPA federal drinking water standards and scores 77/100 (Good) on PurityMap for 2026. For most healthy adults the water is considered safe but point-of-use filtration adds an important layer of protection.

Does Youngstown OH use chlorine or chloramine for disinfection?

Youngstown uses chloramine as the primary disinfectant with a residual level of 1.5 ppm. Chloramine is harder to remove than free chlorine and requires a catalytic carbon or reverse osmosis filter. Standard Brita-style pitchers will NOT remove chloramine.
