About this area's water
Did you know
- Part of Wadsworth's water comes from a well field entirely outside Medina County - in Chippewa Township, Wayne County, about 6.5 miles away - drilled into the Chippewa Creek buried-valley aquifer, which can yield…
- Getting that well field online took a fight: a citizens' group called Save Our Water challenged the project, and the city settled with monitoring requirements attached before the well could proceed.
- The city mixes deep sandstone bedrock wells with shallow glacial buried-valley wells specifically so water quality stays consistent through the seasons.
- Wadsworth's wastewater plant discharges into the River Styx - a real creek in Medina County.
- The plant's 50-year-old floating digester cover corroded out of shape and jammed inside the tank; before picking a $2.3 million replacement, Wadsworth staff drove to Kent to see its ballast-type cover and to Lakewood to…

Mostly estimated. Only 13% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 44281 (Wadsworth) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.
48,625 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.
