  • Pickerington treats its well water with reverse osmosis — membrane treatment more associated with seawater than with central Ohio groundwater — and the salty reject stream is piped over to the sewage plant and blended…
  • Water and sewer rates rise 3% automatically every April 1, so bills climb without a council vote.
  • The four 'emergency' interconnects with Fairfield County Utilities are not decorative: in August 2025 the city pulled 512,000 gallons through one of them over four days.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Five wells at the water plant site west of Diley Road draw from the Newark River buried-valley aquifer. The city treats the water at a reverse-osmosis plant that came online in 2011: iron and manganese are removed by aeration, detention and filtration, hardness is reduced by membrane treatment, and…

Mostly estimated. Only 14% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 43147 (Pickerington) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

32,867 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.
