Did you know
  • North Ridgeville does not draw or treat a drop of its own water — it blends purchased Lake Erie water from three utilities: Avon Lake at 63.36%, Elyria at 35.26% and the Rural Lorain County Water Authority at 1.38%.
  • Elyria, one of those suppliers, is several miles inland yet believes it was the first inland city in the United States to pump treated water from the Great Lakes, having made the switch from the Black River to Lake Erie…
  • Elyria's 24-inch Lake Erie intake has been drawing water since 1903 and its 42-inch since 1946; zebra mussels have colonized both since 1987 but annual maintenance has kept them from clogging the pipes.
  • North Ridgeville's sewage plant is not in North Ridgeville. The city wholly owns the French Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in neighboring Sheffield Village, and treats Avon's and Sheffield's wastewater there too.
  • Avon Lake Regional Water has piloted what is described as North America's first electrochemical drinking-water treatment process — a $6 million system using salt and electricity to brew its own 12 percent sodium…

North Ridgeville buys finished drinking water rather than treating any of its own. Per its Consumer Confidence Report the split is Avon Lake Utilities Department 63.36%, Elyria Utilities Department 35.26%, and Rural Lorain County Water Authority 1.38% — all ultimately Lake Erie surface water. The…

Supply stress

Lake Erie is a large, non-depleting surface source and Elyria notes that its plant capacity means water use restrictions are not required even during peak summer demand, so supply volume is not a constraint. Quality susceptibility is a different matter: for source water assessment purposes Ohio treats all surface waters as susceptible to…

55% of these days are measurements from a gauge inside 44039 (North Ridgeville); the rest are estimated from the nearest gauges around it.

48,369 days of records, 1893-01-01 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.
