Poplar Village MHP in Boil Water Warning After Power Outage

POPLAR VILLAGE, FOSTORIA – All tenants in the park have been given a Drinking Water Warning letter due to a “Power Outage”. For many people if not all have been buying bottled water since summer of 2024. One resident said they don’t trust the water “It’s slowly killing us”. This is not as farfetched of an idea that it may seem to some. A mobile home located between lot 300-310 had a pool of raw sewage under their trailer that was draining into the ditch.

The resident claimed that the trailer park sold her the trailer with sewage pipe issues. “The previous maintenance man Josh “repaired” the toilet sewer line with a rug & plastic tarp for support. After interviewing many people, Josh has a history of acting a fool to say the very least.

Poplar Village also has a lengthly history of noncompliance with wastewater & drinking water. According to the Ohi o EPA “Log books were not being kept” for chlorine testing. Additionally, CWS Environmental is suing Poplar Village for failure to pay for services. CWS is a wastewater/drinking water service company.

An attorney representing the plaintiff said “Short story is that CWS was telling them they needed to be doing certain things to provide safe water and good sewage for the residents and evergreen refused to pay for it saying it was not necessary but according to the EPA it was all necessary.”
