Did you know
  • In 1922 Newark became the first municipal waterworks anywhere to scrape settled sludge out of its basins by machine rather than by hand.
  • Newark was the first water system in Ohio, and among the first in the country, to disinfect with ultraviolet light - a step it added in 2004.
  • The plant deliberately drives its water to a pH of about 10.8 with lime to crash out hardness, then bubbles carbon dioxide back in to bring it down to about 8.8 before filtering.
  • Only 16% of Newark's sewers are combined, but that sixth of the system still feeds 20 permitted overflow outfalls to the Licking River and Raccoon Creek.
History5
  • 1886The privately owned Newark Water Company began operating a pumping station and distribution system.
  • 1910City of Newark bought the private water company and merged it with the municipal plant it had built in 1905 on the North Fork.
  • 1922Newark became the first municipal waterworks to remove settled sludge by mechanical means, adding softening and filtration at the same time.
  • 2004Plant became the first in Ohio and one of the first in the United States to disinfect drinking water with ultraviolet light.
  • 2016-2020Phase II Combined Sewer Overflow Long-Term Control Plan submitted Dec. 31, 2016, amended Feb. 21, 2020, and approved by Ohio EPA on March 27, 2020.
Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Lime softening plant, 15 MGD design, drawing directly from the North Fork Licking River (~75 sq mi watershed) through riverbank mechanical screens. Pre-oxidation with permanganate, chlorine and powdered carbon; rapid mix with lime and ferric sulfate; flocculation; three sedimentation basins…

not published; a finished water pump station with four pumps supplies pressure to the distribution system, but no psi figure is given

What it costs

Effective Jan. 1, 2026: $4.75 per 100 cubic feet for the first 350 units ($6.35 per 1,000 gal). Combined water and sewer minimum bill is $31.77 per month; sewer adds a $9.33…

Supply stress

A river-fed supply on a small ~75 sq mi agricultural watershed: nitrate reached 6.02 ppm against a 10 ppm MCL, atrazine is routinely detected, and Cryptosporidium turned up in 5 of 11 raw water samples in the CCR's cited monitoring. Individual TTHM samples ran to 106 ppb. Low river flow is the standing supply risk.

Sewers

Sanitary

City of Newark operates its own WWTP (built 1948, last upgraded 2022) discharging to the Licking River, then the Muskingum and Ohio. Average daily design flow was re-rated from 8.0 to 9.0 MGD in April 2026; peak secondary capacity is 20 MGD, with overflow to a 1.0-MG equalization basin and then a 28 MGD high rate treatment system. The…

Storm

Newark runs a separate stormwater utility under Ordinances 17-21 and 05-55, created for Clean Water Act Phase II compliance and billed per equivalent residential unit - $8.05/ERU/month effective Jan. 1, 2026, rising to $9.60 by 2030 under Resolution 25-69.

69% of these days are measurements from a gauge inside 43055 (Newark); the rest are estimated from the nearest gauges around it.

48,835 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.
