  • The current water plant has been running since January 19, 1987, and Ohio EPA rates the aquifer beneath it as having low susceptibility to contamination thanks to more than 115 feet of protective cover.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Groundwater is aerated to strip dissolved iron and hydrogen sulfide, held in a 25,000-gallon detention tank for chlorination, then run through four pressure filters (200 sq ft total) to remove oxidized iron before entering distribution. The distribution system has roughly 23 miles of water main…

Water pressure

Not published. The system relies on two elevated tanks (400,000 and 250,000 gallons) for distribution pressure; no psi figures or pressure-zone map are published.

48,724 days of records, 1893-03-11 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.
