Gambier Village buys its water from Mount Vernon City. Mount Vernon City treats groundwater from Buried Valley Aquifer (Kokosing River valley wells).

Gambier Village is owned by a local government, with 357 service connections serving 2,300 people. Office: 740-427-2671 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Gambier Village (random forest) rather than drawing it from the utility's map, so its edges are approximate.

Bills, 2023: a household using 5,000 gallons a month paid about $743 a year for water ($62 a month; $371 at 2,500 gallons, $1,188 at 8,000) and about $665 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Wells: EPA lists 2 active wells. ODNR well logs locate 1 public-supply well inside Mount Vernon City's wellhead protection zone, 85 ft deep, in loam. Zoom in to see them as dots.

Mostly estimated. Only 14% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 43022 (Gambier) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

48,859 days of records, 1893-01-01 to 2026-10-29. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-10-31): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-10-31 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.
