Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Waterville, OH

Waterville is a city in Lucas County on the Maumee River, southwest of Toledo, and functions as a suburb of that city.

Waterville was platted in February 1830 by settler John Pray on the west bank of the upper Maumee River, opposite the rapids then known as Pray's Falls, and it was only the second town plat recorded in what became Lucas County.

Pray named his town Waterville after the river itself — he later said his first impression of the spot was the sheer power of the Maumee's water.

Waterville's post office has been in operation since 1828, two years before the town was even platted.

The community sat on the route of the Miami and Erie Canal, which tied its early growth to canal and river trade.

Waterville was governed as a village for most of its history and formally became a city in 2011.

The 2020 census counted 6,003 residents in Waterville, up from 5,523 in 2010.

Waterville had 2,065 households at the 2010 census, and recent Census Bureau survey estimates put the number of households in the city at roughly 2,400.

The Interurban Bridge, a historic former Ohio Electric Railroad bridge built in 1908, still spans the Maumee River at Waterville.

The city covers about 4.9 square miles in total, of which roughly 0.2 square miles is the Maumee River itself.
