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.

Flushing Village buys its water from Belmont Co. Sanitary District 3. Belmont Co. Sanitary District 3 treats groundwater from Ohio River valley aquifer (wells).

Flushing Village is owned by a local government, with 559 service connections serving 803 people. Office: 740-968-4559 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Flushing Village (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 $819 a year for water ($68 a month; $468 at 2,500 gallons, $1,521 at 8,000) and about $474 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Did you know
  • Flushing was platted in 1813, making it one of the older village sites in Belmont County.
  • Its tap water travels from an aquifer well field near the Ohio River north of Bellaire rather than from any source within the village itself.
  • Population peaked in 1980 at 1,266 residents (not 1940 as previously stated) and had fallen to 830 by 2020.

History5
  • 1813The town site of Flushing was platted.
  • 1849Flushing was incorporated as a village.
  • 1980CORRECTED: Village population peaked at 1,266 residents (Wikipedia's full census table shows 1980, not 1940, as the actual high point; 1940 was 1,217).
  • 2020Census recorded 830 residents, down about a third from the 1980 peak (2023 estimate 807).
  • 2024-2025EPA's record shows an open violation, not health-based, on Flushing's own system since August 15, 2024: a required public notice of an earlier violation was not given.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Flushing has no treatment plant of its own (its own wells and WTP were deactivated 2005-2007); it buys finished water via an active interconnect from Belmont Co. Sanitary District 3 (PWSID OH0700412), a groundwater system serving about 26,800 people from a well field and 'Belmont County WTP,' with…

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 43951 (Union Township and Lafferty), 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.

51,943 days of records, 1878-02-01 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.
