Bradner Village is owned by a local government, with 441 service connections serving 985 people; it has substantially implemented source water protection under Ohio's program. Office: 419-288-2890 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Bradner Village (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 $770 a year for water ($64 a month; $521 at 2,500 gallons, $1,069 at 8,000) and about $621 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $387,000 across 2 projects (drinking water $387K); largest: East & Evans Waterline Replacement (Bradner, 2024, $353K); Timmons Road Waterline Replacement (Bradner, 2024, $34K).

Wells: EPA lists 5 active wells (3 in regular use, 2 standby or emergency). ODNR well logs locate 3 public-supply wells inside Bradner Village's wellhead protection zone, 297 to 303 ft deep, in limestone. Zoom in to see them as dots.

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 43406 (Bradner), so every figure here is worked out from the gauges around it - the nearest ones weighted most. Treat them as close estimates rather than readings.

56,914 days of records, 1871-01-01 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.
