Did you know
  • Lorain claims the first plant in the United States built expressly to filter all of a city's water for bacteria, authorized in 1896 after a deadly typhoid epidemic in 1893.
  • Potassium permanganate is dosed right at the Lake Erie intake, not for people but to stop invasive zebra mussels from clogging it.
  • Lorain has fed orthophosphate for corrosion control since 2010 and has pulled out about 1,500 lead service lines with nearly $2.5 million in Ohio EPA money.
  • Lorain's emergency backups are Vermilion, Amherst and Sheffield Lake - all Lake Erie systems supplied by Elyria and Avon Lake. None sent Lorain any water in 2024.
History4
  • 1884Lorain's first municipal water plant and distribution system began operating on untreated Black River water.
  • 1893A typhoid epidemic struck Lorain, attributed to the lack of filtration.
  • 1896A filtration plant was authorized; the city claims it as the first US plant built expressly to filter all of a city's water for bacteria.
  • 2010The plant began feeding orthophosphate for corrosion control to keep lead from leaching out of service lines.
Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Potassium permanganate at the Lake Erie intake for zebra mussels, debris screening, chlorine at plant entry, alum coagulation, flocculation with caustic soda and powdered carbon, sedimentation, then GAC/sand/gravel filters; fluoride, chlorine and orthophosphate last.

Water pressure

Not published in the sources found.

What it costs

Not retrieved. The city's rates page returns 404 and neither water quality report lists rates, so no per-1,000-gallon figure could be confirmed.

EPA compliance record

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 0 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).

Projects & plans1

Recent and current work

  • Lead Service Line Replacement Program · $2.5 million · under construction
    Nearly $2.5 million in Ohio EPA principal forgiveness has funded removal of about 1,500 lead service lines to date.
Supply stress

Lake Erie supplies ample raw water with no quantity limit. The 2024 source water assessment names the nearby Black River, commercial shipping and boating spills, industrial and farm runoff, river dredging, urban stormwater, sewage discharges and combined sewer overflows as risks.

Sewers

Sanitary

Lorain Utilities runs water and sanitary sewer service, overseen by the city's Sewer and Water Advisory Board. The 2024 source water assessment names municipal and home sewage treatment discharges and combined sewer overflows in the Black River watershed as risks to the drinking water intake.

Storm

Neither the water quality report nor the city's water pages state how much of the system is separate versus combined, and we found no dedicated stormwater fee.

Sourcesverified

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

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 44055 (Lorain), 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.

48,479 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.
