EPA modeled the service boundary of Mt Gilead Village (decision tree) 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 $511 a year for water ($43 a month; $309 at 2,500 gallons, $754 at 8,000) and about $645 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $6.8 million across 1 project (drinking water $6.8M); largest: Water Treatment Plant Improvements Phase I (Mount Gilead, 2026, $6.8M).

About this area's water

Did you know
  • Mount Gilead softens its water by ion exchange, and the fingerprint shows up in the plant's own lab data: sodium averaged 158 mg/L in 2025 and peaked at 202 mg/L, while finished hardness averaged 136 mg/L.
  • The 2025 lead and copper round put the 90th-percentile lead result at 12.64 ppb, just under the 15 ppb action level, with 2 of 20 sampled homes above the action level.
  • The water plant was banned from selling bulk water after hydrant use was discovered, so the Phase 1 project includes a new bulk water fill station with a keypad, receipt printer and flow meter to sell it properly.
  • The village's sewage treatment plant generates its own electricity from a solar array and publishes the output live on the web.
  • Searching for 'Mt. Gilead' online is a trap: mtgilead.org belongs to a Christian camp and conference center in Sebastopol, California, not the Morrow County village, whose site is mountgilead.net.

  • 1848Morrow County was formed and Mount Gilead became the county seat; the village's population was about 400.
  • 2012Ohio EPA completed a Source Water Susceptibility Analysis for the Mt. Gilead well field, rating its susceptibility to contamination as moderate.
  • 2025Council approved raising the base water rate $5 per year for 2026, 2027 and 2028 (March), and in the same month the village nominated its water treatment plant Phase 1 project for an Ohio EPA Water…
  • 2025Bid package for the WTP Improvements Phase 1 project advertised September 19 and bids opened November 12, with an 18-month construction period scheduled to run January 2026 to July 2027.

Five village-owned wells in the north-central part of town, just east of State Route 61 with an access drive at 352 E. Union Street, draw from the Johnstown Complex sand-and-gravel aquifer (more than 20 feet to water, under roughly 50 feet of glacial till). Water is treated at the village's own…

41% of these days are measurements from a gauge inside 43338 (Mount Gilead); the rest are estimated from the nearest gauges around it.

48,782 days of records, 1892-12-01 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.
