Did you know
  • Gahanna draws no water of its own at all — 100% of its supply is purchased finished from Columbus, and all of its sewage goes back to Columbus for treatment.
  • When Columbus raised Gahanna's wholesale water rate 18% for 2026, the city absorbed part of the hit and passed through a 10% increase instead.
  • A Gahanna household using 4,000 gallons a month saw its combined water, sewer and stormwater bill rise $7.46 in 2026.
History3
  • 1849Gahanna was founded along Big Walnut Creek, the waterway that still runs through the city.
  • 2026Columbus raised Gahanna's wholesale water rate 18% and its sewage treatment rate 8%; Gahanna absorbed part and passed through an overall 6.14% increase.
  • 2026Extensive rainfall on and around Saturday, August 22 flooded parts of Gahanna, damaging homes; Governor DeWine sought FEMA assistance for recovery.
Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Gahanna operates no plant and no wells: it buys 100% finished water from Columbus, which runs three treatment plants and describes a 'multi-barrier approach.' Per SDWIS the ultimate sources are the Scioto River (Griggs and O'Shaughnessy) and Hoover Reservoir on Big Walnut Creek.

Water pressure

Not published; Gahanna's Public Utilities page gives no psi or pressure-zone figures, and delivery pressure is set by the Columbus system feeding it.

What it costs

$11.74 per 1,000 gallons

Typical household bill about $47 a month for water.

2026 residential water: $10.62/1,000 gal operations plus $1.12 capital. Sanitary sewer adds $12.49/1,000 gal. Overall utility increase 6.14%.

Water quality & impurities

EPA compliance record

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 0.5 ppb in 2024 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

1 violation of any kind logged since 2020: 1 for a report, record or notice that was missing, late or incomplete (the yearly water quality report, a public notice, lead line records).

EPA compliance record · Columbus Public Water System (treats the water)

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 1.2 ppb in 2023 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA health-based violations since 2015:

  • 2016Nitrate · above the legal limit on average · measured 10.5 MG/L (limit 10 MG/L) · returned to compliance
Supply stress

Gahanna has no source of its own — 100% of supply is purchased finished water from Columbus, so both reliability and cost track the Columbus Scioto River/Hoover Reservoir system. In August 2026 extensive rainfall flooded parts of the city, prompting a state request for federal disaster aid.

Sewers

Sanitary

Gahanna owns and maintains its own sanitary collection system and runs a CMOM program, but sends all wastewater to Columbus for treatment at the Jackson Pike and Southerly plants, which serve Columbus plus about 25 contracting suburban communities. 2026 rate: $12.49/1,000 gal.

Storm

Separate storm sewer infrastructure owned by the city and managed by its Engineering Department; stormwater is billed within the utility rates. Extensive August 2026 rainfall caused widespread property damage.

47,953 days of records, 1893-06-01 to 2026-10-28. 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.
