About this area's water
Did you know

- The city buys a little over 233 million gallons of water a year but pumps a little over 300 million gallons of sewage to Lorain's Black River plant - it neither treats nor produces a drop of either.
- Sheffield Lake, Sheffield Village and Sheffield Township all trace to a single 1815 founding and held a joint bicentennial in 2015. Sheffield Lake split off in 1920 when residents east of the Black River voted out of…
- The city bought treated water through pipes described in its own billing notice as 'over 100 years old' in places - the Alameda Avenue mains replaced in 2025 were roughly a century old.

Mostly estimated. Only 8% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 44054 (Sheffield Lake) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.
48,325 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.
