Did you know
  • Tallmadge draws no water of its own — every drop comes from Akron's Upper Cuyahoga reservoir system, which starts at Lake Rockwell, built in 1915, and is pumped 11 miles to Akron before it reaches Tallmadge.
  • Akron owns roughly 16,000 acres around its Cuyahoga River source reservoirs, about a third of the land bordering the river in Portage and Geauga counties, kept undeveloped as natural filtration for drinking water.
  • Tallmadge's distribution system contains no known lead service lines at all — no lead, no galvanized pipe needing replacement, and no unknown-material lines.
  • A hot, wet summer in 2025 loaded Akron's reservoirs with organic matter and forced heavier chlorination; the resulting disinfection byproducts pushed Tallmadge over the federal haloacetic acid limit for one quarter…
  • Only about 28% of a Tallmadge utility bill is for water — the sewer charge, all of it paid to Akron for treatment, is the bigger half.

  • 1915Akron constructs Lake Rockwell Reservoir on the Upper Cuyahoga River in Franklin Township, Portage County, 2.5 miles north of Kent — the primary source Tallmadge buys from today.
  • 1939East Branch Reservoir, in Geauga County, completed as supplemental storage for Akron's system.
  • 1962Wendell R. LaDue Reservoir, also in Geauga County, completed, adding supplemental storage and drought buffering.

  • 2024Akron restructures its water rates — the first increase since 2012 — raising the commodity rate from $2.73 to $3.06 per hundred cubic feet, adding a $9/month fixed infrastructure charge for…

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Tallmadge buys 100% finished water from the City of Akron and does no source treatment of its own. Akron's Water Supply Bureau draws surface water from the Upper Cuyahoga River, stored in three impounding reservoirs — Lake Rockwell in Portage County, supplemented by Wendell R. LaDue and East Branch…

Mostly estimated. Only 6% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 44278 (Tallmadge) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

43,183 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.
