About this area's water

Did you know
  • The wells feeding the whole county sit less than 20 feet below the Muskingum River floodplain with no clay or shale cap over them -- Ohio EPA rates the aquifer 'high susceptibility,' though no contamination event has…
  • The system started in January 1972 with about 1,000 customers on 35 miles of line fed by two wells; today one plant on Wayne Ridge Road feeds more than 10,000 customers over 460-plus miles of pipe.
  • Since 2017 the Southeast system has been connected across the Muskingum River to supply the Northwest system, so the whole county drinks water from the same Duncan Falls well field.
  • In 2026 the county became the sole water supplier to the Maysville Regional Water District, after building a transmission main, pump station and tank with Ohio EPA to fix source-water problems Maysville could not solve…
  • MCWD keeps emergency interconnections with the City of Zanesville (near Richards, Fairview and Rehl Roads), the Village of New Concord (2020) and the Village of Philo (2024).

  • October 1967Scott Patton became the first customer to sign a water user agreement with the East Muskingum Water Authority (EMWA); the authority needed 1,700 customers to obtain financing, and high bond-market…
  • January 12…Water service began in the southeast system: about 1,000 customers on 35 miles of line, supplied by two wells north of Duncan Falls and pumped to a standpipe above Duncan Falls and an elevated tank…
  • February…The Wayne Ridge Road treatment plant (3830 Wayne Ridge Road) was put into operation.
  • December…EMWA gave Muskingum County a 10% interest in the treatment plant and well field for $347,500 and agreed to sell water at cost so the county could extend lines.
  • January 14…After 32 years, the EMWA board voted 4-3 to dissolve and merge with the Muskingum County Water and Sewer District; by then the system was worth more than $15 million and served more than 6,000…
  • August 1…EMWA ceased operations and the Muskingum County Water and Sewer District assumed operations.

How it is treated

Five self-supporting wells draw from a shallow buried-valley sand-and-gravel aquifer in the Muskingum River floodplain, one mile north of Duncan Falls on State Route 60. Water is pumped to the Wayne Ridge Road plant (in operation since February 1998), where treatment is filtration for iron and…

Supply stress

Ohio EPA's source water assessment rates the aquifer supplying MCWD as having HIGH susceptibility to contamination, because there is no protective layer of clay, shale or other impervious material over it and the aquifer sits less than 20 feet below the ground surface, so anything spilled on the surface can move down into it.

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 43740 (Gratiot), 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.

49,729 days of records, 1887-08-01 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.
