About this area's water
Did you know
- Rittman's drinking water isn't from Rittman: all three production wells and the water department itself sit west of town in Milton Township near Sterling, at 6700 Sterling Rd.
- The emergency backup well sits behind the softball fields on Industrial Street west of River Styx — Ohio EPA rates it high-susceptibility because the aquifer is shallow with only a thin clay cap, and the city didn't…
- The town is named for a railroad treasurer, not a settler or founder: after Arkona, Ellio, Milton Station and New Prospect all failed to stick, the B&O simply named its 1888 station for Frederick B. Rittman.
- The 1897 salt strike produced Wayne Salt, which became the Ohio Salt Company and then, in 1948, Morton Salt.
- The 2025 consumer confidence report spends a full paragraph correcting the 2024 one — barium, arsenic, copper's 90th percentile, a wrong year on TTHM, two wrong MCLGs, and 2021-2022 detections that had been left out of…

History6
- 1814William Doyle and John Coleman take title to the land on July 23, 1814, becoming the first settlers; within a month eight families buy land in Wayne County and begin clearing and farming.
- 1888The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad opens an unnamed station here and eventually names it for its treasurer, Frederick B. Rittman — after Arkona (dropped for sounding too much like Akron), Ellio, Milton…
- 1897Salt deposits are discovered, leading to Wayne Salt, which became the Ohio Salt Company and, in 1948, Morton Salt — a long-running major employer.
- 1903E.J. Young founds the Ohio Boxboard Company to package salt and matches, becoming another significant local employer.
- 2025Ohio EPA notifies the city on June 10, 2025 of a significant deficiency — failure to perform periodic on-site investigation of commercial connections — and directs correction by January 1, 2026. The…
- 2025A routine total coliform sample taken July 10, 2025 returns positive at one address, triggering repeat sampling at that address and upstream and downstream of it. No violation resulted, and the city…

Mostly estimated. Only 1% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 44270 (Rittman) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.
48,629 days of records, 1893-01-01 to 2026-10-30. 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 2026-11-01): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-11-01 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.
