About this area's water

Did you know
  • The village grew up as a canal port, and a well-preserved stretch of the Ohio-Erie Canal still cuts through the center of town.
  • Millersport hosts the Sweet Corn Festival the weekend before Labor Day, which the village describes as the second-largest festival in the state of Ohio; proceeds fund civic groups including Lions Club eyeglasses for…
  • Buckeye Lake began as a swamp the pioneers called Buffalo Licks, was impounded as the Licking Reservoir to feed the canal, and is now a 3,557-acre recreation lake.
  • The water department reads as a family operation: the 2025 CCR lists John Wood and Chase Wood as the contacts for the four-well system.
  • The drinking water sits about 75 feet down under roughly 70 feet of clay, sand and gravel -- the reason Ohio EPA rates this aquifer low-susceptibility while most Ohio systems its size carry a higher rating.

Mostly estimated. Only 3% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 43046 (Walnut Township and Millersport) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

48,604 days of records, 1893-06-01 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.
