New Lexington is owned by a local government, with 1,985 service connections serving 5,161 people; it has substantially implemented source water protection under Ohio's program. Office: 740-324-1633 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of New Lexington (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 $646 a year for water ($54 a month; $402 at 2,500 gallons, $938 at 8,000) and about $799 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $8.2 million across 5 projects, $5.1 million of it forgiven (wastewater $5.6M, drinking water $2.6M); largest: Northern Perry Co Water Phase III Waterline Extension (Perry County, 2018, $2.6M); Moore's Junction Sanitary Sewers (Perry County, 2017, $2.5M); WWTP Clarifier Rehab and Sludge Press (New Lexington, 2025, $1.9M).

Did you know
  • New Lexington drinks from two small reservoirs it owns outright — the New Lexington Reservoir and Rush Creek Reservoir Site 1B — rather than a river, a lake or a well field.
  • Founder James Comly laid out 64 lots in 1817 and sold them for $25 to $50 each; forty years later the village beat Somerset and Rehoboth in a bitter fight for the county seat.
  • The village will credit your sewer bill $25 to $125 for filling a swimming pool — as long as you call the water office before you turn the hose on.
  • Water and sewer rates here rise 3% automatically every year, an escalator written into the ordinance and running since June 1, 2010.
  • The 2025 drinking water report lists a TTHM annual average of 99.8 ppb next to an 80 ppb federal limit, and still prints 'NO' in the violation column.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

The village treats its own surface water at the New Lexington Water Treatment Plant, drawing from the New Lexington Reservoir and Rush Creek Reservoir Site 1B — both are in use and, in the village's words, require extensive treatment.

62% of these days are measurements from a gauge inside 43764 (New Lexington); the rest are estimated from the nearest gauges around it.

49,721 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.
