Did you know
  • The aquifer LRWD pumps from sits less than 10 feet below the ground surface with no protective clay layer above it, which is why Ohio EPA rates it highly susceptible to contamination.
  • LRWD softens its water with nano-filtration membranes, a step more often associated with bottled-water plants than with small municipal systems.
  • The district kept the name Southwest Licking Community Water and Sewer District for 35 years, until a Licking County judge approved the rename on November 7, 2024.
  • The district's new test wells in St. Albans Township target the same Raccoon Creek Valley aquifer that already supplies Granville and Alexandria, which is why those villages have fought the expansion.
  • LRWD holds three emergency interconnections (Fairfield County Utilities, Jefferson Water and Sewer District and the City of Pataskala) but reported drawing no water through any of them in the reported year.

73% of these days are measurements from a gauge inside 43062 (Pataskala); the rest are estimated from the nearest gauges around it.

44,881 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.
