EPA modeled the service boundary of Kenton City (random forest) rather than drawing it from the utility's map, so its edges are approximate.
Bills, 2023: a household using 5,000 gallons a month paid about $598 a year for water ($50 a month; $434 at 2,500 gallons, $794 at 8,000) and about $728 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).
Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $30.2 million across 30 projects, $9.8 million of it forgiven (wastewater $15.0M, drinking water $14.5M, nonpoint runoff $750K); largest: Downtown Sewer System Improvements - Phase 2A (Kenton, 2024, $9.4M); WTP Design Build Rehab and Repairs (Kenton, 2026, $8.0M); Detroit St. Waterline Reconstruction, Phase 1 (Kenton, 2025, $2.8M).

About this area's water
Did you know
- Kenton sits on the headwaters of the Scioto River, but its water does not come from the river valley at all - all seven city wells draw on the carbonate limestone aquifer of northwest Ohio.
- Kenton's own 2025 water quality report lists CCR content violations in four separate years - 2018, 2020, 2023 and 2024 - including a 2024 report in which the fluoride number was wrong and barium and cyanide were left…
- The city's report states plainly that Kenton 'currently has no program in place' to act on its Ohio EPA source water assessment.
- Ohio EPA has ordered Kenton to submit, by September 1, 2026, a feasibility study on whether to build an entirely new treatment plant or hand its water over to a regional system.
- Rebuilding the water and sewer lines under downtown Kenton is estimated at $16-20 million in total; the $5 million state grant announced in 2023 covers a single phase.
History6
- 2018Kenton's 2018 CCR omitted gross alpha and radium-228 data from the table of detected contaminants (disclosed later as a past CCR content violation).
- 2020The 2020 CCR omitted gross alpha data and listed contaminants that had not been detected.
- 2023Ohio awards Kenton a $5 million Ohio BUILDS Water Infrastructure Grant (announced July 21, 2023) for Phase 2 of the Historic Courthouse District project - nine downtown blocks of water, storm and…
- 2023The 2023 CCR wrongly printed radium-228 at 2.7 pCi/L and gross alpha at 0.88 pCi/L (both were actually non-detects) and omitted unresolved significant deficiencies.
- 2024Ohio EPA informs Kenton on December 31, 2024 of a significant deficiency for failing to report the most recent gross alpha and radium-228 data on the 2023 CCR; the city corrects it in the 2024 CCR…
- 2024The 2024 CCR is itself found deficient: the fluoride figure was incorrect, barium and cyanide were left out, and unresolved significant deficiencies were not disclosed.
Treatment & pressure
How it is treated
Seven city wells draw on the carbonate aquifer of northwest Ohio - not a Scioto River valley sand-and-gravel aquifer, despite Kenton sitting on the Scioto headwaters. Water is treated at the city's groundwater plant with chlorination (2025 average total chlorine 0.758 ppm), fluoridation, and…

Almost every day here is a measurement: 93% of them come from a rain gauge standing inside 43326 (Kenton) itself.
48,878 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.
