Wauseon City is owned by a local government, with 3,123 service connections serving 7,568 people; it has substantially implemented source water protection under Ohio's program. Office: 419-335-9871 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Wauseon 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 $678 a year for water ($57 a month; $389 at 2,500 gallons, $918 at 8,000) (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

  • The raw-water line between Wauseon and Napoleon runs both directions: Wauseon can pull Maumee River water in, or push its own reservoir water back to Napoleon to be treated there when the river is too dirty. It never…
  • Wauseon's reservoirs are upground basins, not dammed valleys — a 50-acre one holding 350 million usable gallons and a 15-acre one holding 90 million, filled by pump stations on two farm ditches that drain just 6.6…
  • The plant ran 22,069 turbidity samples in 2025. The single cloudiest reading all year was 0.8 NTU, and the worst month still met the standard 99.9996% of the time.
  • Wauseon's water is softened the old-fashioned way, with lime and soda ash — a class 3 lime/soda softening plant whose chemical list runs to nine items including potassium permanganate and carbon dioxide.
  • The city sells treated water beyond its own limits: it supplies the Village of Lyons, and Fulton County's 100,000-gallon fairgrounds tank is part of the Wauseon system.

  • 1989Wauseon's wastewater treatment plant began operations on February 27, 1989, after nearly a decade of preliminary planning.
  • 2001In August 2001 Wauseon's reservoir began receiving Maumee River water through a new raw-water line from Napoleon; since then most of the city's drinking water has come from the Maumee rather than…

Supply stress

Quantity risk is real but engineered around. The two upground reservoirs hold about 440 million usable gallons but are fed by only 6.6 square miles of creek runoff, which is precisely why the Napoleon line exists: since August 2001 most of Wauseon's water has come from the Maumee River rather than from Big Ditch and Stuckey Ditch.…

Almost every day here is a measurement: 96% of them come from a rain gauge standing inside 43567 (Wauseon) itself.

50,445 days of records, 1887-07-03 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.
