Where does the tap water come from?

Where the tap water comes from and what is in it: the lake, river, reservoir or aquifer behind every tap, the plant that treats it, and what the compliance record and the lab results say about it.

Noble County Water Authority buys its water from Noble Water Company, which buys from Caldwell Village. Caldwell Village treats water from Wolf Run Lake (primary) + Caldwell Lake (backup reservoirs).

Noble County Water Authority has 896 service connections serving 2,368 people. Office: 740-732-5948 (SDWIS).

Boundary caution: EPA's service-area polygon for Noble County Water Authority, modelled by EPA (random forest), holds only 12% of the 2,368 people it reports serving, so much of its territory shows on this map as private wells.

Bills, 2023: a household using 5,000 gallons a month paid about $804 a year for water ($67 a month; $660 at 2,500 gallons, $1,020 at 8,000) (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $168,000 across 1 project (drinking water $168K); largest: Water Meter Upgrade (Noble Water Company, 2022, $168K).

About this area's water

Did you know
  • Noble County Water Authority's primary source, Wolf Run Lake, sits inside Wolf Run State Park, a 220-acre lake acquired by the state in 1963 and dedicated as a park in 1968.
  • Belle Valley's history includes the May 1913 Imperial No. 3 coal-mine explosion, which killed 15 miners in a village of only about 1,000 people at the time.
  • The authority relies on purchased wholesale water (from suppliers including Noble Water Company and Caldwell Village) rather than operating its own treatment plant.

Source: en.wikipedia.orgtile.loc.govnoblecountyohio.gov

History3
  • 1857Caldwell, Ohio (home of NCWA wholesale supplier Caldwell Village) founded and named for Joseph and Samuel Caldwell.
  • 1905Belle Valley, anchor of NCWA's Belle Valley ZIP, incorporated after the Cleveland and Marietta Railroad reached the area.
  • 1963-1968Wolf Run State Park land acquired in 1963 and dedicated in 1968; its 220-acre Wolf Run Lake is the authority's primary source reservoir.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

The authority does not treat its own water; a separately operated Caldwell Water Works Treatment Plant reportedly treats Wolf Run Lake water.

Water pressure

Not published.

What it costs

The authority's own webpage publishes only a sewer usage rate of $9.22 per 1,000 gallons plus flat monthly charges; we found no water rate schedule.

Water quality & impurities

EPA compliance record

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 0 ppb in 2024 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

4 violations of any kind logged since 2020: 4 for a report, record or notice that was missing, late or incomplete (the yearly water quality report, a public notice, lead line records).

EPA compliance record · Caldwell Village (treats the water)

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 0 ppb in 2023 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

4 violations of any kind logged since 2020: 4 for a report, record or notice that was missing, late or incomplete (the yearly water quality report, a public notice, lead line records).

Supply stress

Wolf Run Lake is a relatively small 220-acre impoundment used as the primary source, backed by Caldwell Lake (roughly 500-million-gallon storage) as a secondary reservoir, suggesting built-in redundancy. We found no drought, algal-bloom, or capacity data specific to this system.

Sewers

Sanitary

The authority's own webpage publishes sewer billing (a $9.22/1,000-gallon usage charge plus flat monthly charges), indicating it administers sewer billing for at least part of its area, but no description of Belle Valley's sanitary collection/treatment infrastructure was found. Smaller Noble County villages often rely on septic systems…

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 43717 (Belle Valley), 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.

49,666 days of records, 1887-08-01 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.
