About this area's water

Did you know
  • Wooster's water comes from a buried glacial valley that USGS measured at about 3,000 feet wide and 100 feet deep, hidden under the modern creek bed and surrounding farmland.
  • USGS's 1994 model of the valley found that of the water pumped from the aquifer, only about 8% is induced infiltration from Killbuck Creek - 63% arrives from the uplands and 23% from areal recharge in the valley. Total…
  • For four decades the city has been pumping and treating contaminated ground water from a 1983 industrial spill - roughly 253 million gallons a year that never reaches a tap - through a chain of three interceptor wells…
  • When PFAS turned up in two South Wellfield wells in 2023-24, Wooster simply switched them off in February 2024 rather than treat around them - and has reported non-detect finished water for all six regulated PFAS ever…
  • Better lab equipment, not worse water, is what found the PFAS: minimum detection levels dropped from 10 parts per trillion in the 2020 sampling to 2 parts per trillion by 2023.

History6
  • 1983Ohio EPA discovers volatile organic compounds in the raw water supply; the source is determined to be surface spillage migrating from a nearby industrial plant upgradient of the production well.
  • 1985First interceptor well installed to capture contaminated ground water before it reaches the production wells.
  • 1989Second interceptor well added.
  • 1994USGS publishes Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4131, a ground-water flow model of the Killbuck Creek valley near Wooster.
  • 1998The Wooster Water Production Facility at 1020 Old Columbus Road is commissioned.
  • 2006Third interceptor well installed, continuing the pump-and-treat containment of the 1983 plume.

Almost every day here is a measurement: 95% of them come from a rain gauge standing inside 44691 (Wooster) itself.

48,673 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.
