Did you know
  • The Ashtabula County Water System buys Aqua Ohio's treated water, and in 2023 also drew 2,192,388 gallons through a Lake County backup connection used about 365 days a year.
  • Six PFAS compounds were sampled at the plant under Ohio's 2020 statewide initiative and none were detected in the finished drinking water.
  • The city's wastewater plant discharges to Lake Erie after UV disinfection - the same lake the tap water comes from - and Ashtabula's sewers are all separate sanitary lines.
  • The plant draws Lake Erie water through two separate intakes rather than a single one.
History5
  • 1886Predecessor waterworks founded (per WaterZen profile); the system is now operated by Aqua Ohio, part of Essential Utilities.
  • 2003Ohio EPA source water assessment found the Lake Erie source susceptible to wastewater and industrial discharges, runoff, spills and shipping.
  • 2018Plant monitored source water for Cryptosporidium; detected in 1 of 9 raw-water samples and not detected in finished water.
  • 2020Sampled under Ohio's statewide PFAS Drinking Water Sampling Initiative; six PFAS compounds tested, none detected in finished water.
  • 2021Aqua Ohio Ashtabula maintained 'alternative TOC compliance' instead of meeting the standard total organic carbon removal ratio.
Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Conventional Lake Erie surface-water plant drawing from two lake intakes: filtration (turbidity monitored continuously), chlorine disinfection and fluoridation, with TOC removal for byproduct control under alternative TOC compliance. Coagulant details not published.

Water pressure

not published; no psi figure or pressure-zone description appears in Aqua Ohio or Ashtabula County materials reviewed

What it costs

Aqua Ohio is investor-owned and its rates are set in PUCO tariffs; we found no Ashtabula-division rate sheet.

EPA compliance record · Aqua Ohio - Village of Jefferson

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 0 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

EPA compliance record · Aqua Ohio - Ashtabula (treats the water)

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 3.1 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

1 violation of any kind logged since 2020: 1 for a report, record or notice that was missing, late or incomplete (the yearly water quality report, a public notice, lead line records).

Supply stress

Lake Erie's volume means little scarcity risk, but Ohio EPA's 2003 assessment rates the source susceptible to wastewater and industrial discharges, urban runoff, and rail, vehicle and shipping spills. Cryptosporidium appeared in 1 of 9 raw samples in 2018 monitoring, never in finished water.

Sewers

Sanitary

City of Ashtabula Wastewater Treatment Plant, 303 Woodland Ave., runs separately from Aqua Ohio: 12.0 MGD average design flow, 18 MGD peak, 24 MGD maximum hydraulic; grit removal, primary settling, phosphorus removal, activated sludge, UV disinfection, anaerobic digestion; discharges to Lake Erie.

Storm

The city reports only separate sanitary sewers, so no combined sewer overflows; we found no municipal stormwater utility or fee.

Sourcesverified

Compiled from the utility's own reports and public records, then independently re-checked against primary sources.

33% of these days are measurements from a gauge inside 44047 (Jefferson); the rest are estimated from the nearest gauges around it.

48,272 days of records, 1893-01-01 to 2026-10-28. 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.
