About this area's water
Did you know
- The utility began in 1925 with $390,000 and 1,200 customers; today it is roughly a $60 million operation serving over 200,000 people across a 680-square-mile territory in seven counties.
- About 85% of the water the plant produces is sold outside Avon Lake's own city limits — to Avon, North Ridgeville, Sheffield Lake, Medina and others.
- Lab staff run about 150 water quality tests a day, more than 50,000 a year.
- Four of the plant's filters were the originals installed in 1926; they are being replaced in the upgrade that broke ground in 2024, after nearly a century of service.
- The 2017 tower replacement swapped a 500,000-gallon tank for a 3-million-gallon one — a sixfold jump in elevated storage for $8 million.
History6
- 1925Avon Lake's water system was established with an initial investment of $390,000 (1925 dollars) in land and facilities, serving about 1,200 residents.
- 1926The original Lake Erie filtration plant and administration buildings were built on Lake Road with a maximum capacity of 2 million gallons per day.
- 2017…Began adding orthophosphate to the finished water for corrosion control, coating pipe interiors to reduce lead and copper leaching.
- 2017…A new 3-million-gallon water tower bowl went into service, replacing a 500,000-gallon tank; $8 million, financed by a 0-percent Ohio EPA loan repaid through roughly $4/year per customer.

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 44012 (Avon Lake), 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.
56,915 days of records, 1871-01-01 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.
