The Ohio Department of Health's fluoridation report (CDC My Water's Fluoride) lists Medina Co/southern Water Dist as buying its water from Ashland City; EPA's inventory shows its own sources as primary with Ashland City as an emergency connection. The two records may reflect a blend or a recent switch.

Medina Co/southern Water Dist is owned by a local government, with 1,712 service connections serving 4,708 people; it has substantially implemented source water protection under Ohio's program. Office: 330-764-8345 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Medina Co/southern Water Dist (random forest) rather than drawing it from the utility's map, so its edges are approximate.

Bills, 2023: a household using 5,000 gallons a month paid about $707 a year for water ($59 a month; $426 at 2,500 gallons, $1,043 at 8,000) and about $423 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Wells: EPA lists 3 active wells. ODNR well logs locate 5 public-supply wells inside Medina Co/southern Water Dist's wellhead protection zone, 117 to 197 ft deep, in sand & gravel and sand & rock. Zoom in to see them as dots.

Did you know
  • The district is run out of the Medina County Sanitary Engineer's office in Columbia Station, not by either of the two communities it serves.
  • In 2025 the county permanently shut down the Westfield well rather than operate it after the state permitted an oil well inside the 300-foot sanitary isolation radius around the wellhead.
  • The Westfield Road well was screened less than 20 feet below the surface under a thin clay layer, which is why Ohio EPA rated it highly susceptible to contamination while the deeper Greenwich Road wells, under 40-plus…
  • For 217 days in 2025 the district ran on an emergency pipe: the Friendsville and Lafayette Road interconnection to the county's Northwest Water System delivered 67 million gallons.
  • The Chippewa Lake wastewater plant that serves the same community was originally built in 1925 as Imhoff tanks and slow sand filtration, and its last real upgrade was an equalization tank in 1995.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Two county-run groundwater plants. The Chippewa Lake Water Plant draws three wells at 7090 Lake Road and, per EPA treatment records, uses packed-tower aeration, pressure sand filtration for both filtration and manganese removal, and pre-hypochlorination. The Westfield Water Plant drew two wells…

Supply stress

Real and documented.

That well is now permanently…

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 44251 (Westfield Center), 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.

48,721 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.
