Bucyrus City is owned by a local government, with 5,937 service connections serving 12,570 people; it has substantially implemented source water protection under Ohio's program. Office: 419-562-6767 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Bucyrus City (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 $767 a year for water ($64 a month; $430 at 2,500 gallons, $1,118 at 8,000) and about $581 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $8.6 million across 18 projects, $1.8 million of it forgiven (wastewater $6.3M, nonpoint runoff $1.8M, drinking water $542K); largest: WWTP Wet Weather Expansion and Improvements (Bucyrus, 2024, $3.0M); Southern and Hopley Avenues S3 Group 1 CSO (Bucyrus, 2019, $1.1M); Southern and Hopley Avenues S3 Group 3A CSO (Bucyrus, 2019, $1.1M).

Did you know
  • Bucyrus does not drink from a river directly: it pumps the Sandusky River into two 'upground' reservoirs and draws from those, so the river's bad days can be waited out rather than treated.
  • The Paul R. Outhwaite Reservoir, finished in 1982, holds a full billion gallons across 150 acres - about 300 days of supply on its own.
  • The city has built four raw-water reservoirs since 1900 (Neff, Pines, Riley, Outhwaite), but only the two newest are named in the CCR as the current drinking water source.
  • The treatment plant now slated for replacement went into continuous operation in May 1950 and was built on a $463,206 bid from Richland Construction Company of Mansfield.
  • Bucyrus still runs a combined sewer system laid in the 1930s, and its bill separates out a 'storm water separation' charge for undoing it.

History6
  • 1882Original waterworks installed with Walker steam pumps by the privately owned Bucyrus Development Company, drawing directly from the Sandusky River through wooden mains.
  • 1900Neff Reservoir built - 40 acres, 90 million gallons, 1.75 sq mi watershed - the system's first raw-water impoundment.
  • 1914Sand filtration began, with a 500,000-gallon clearwell for treated water storage.
  • 1919Pines Reservoir added - 38 acres, 58 million gallons, 2.50 sq mi watershed.
  • 1926The City of Bucyrus purchased the water works from the Bucyrus Development Company.
  • 1939Construction of the city's wastewater treatment plant began, with primary and secondary treatment.

Surface water from two upground reservoirs - the 1-billion-gallon Outhwaite on St. Rt. 98 N and the 180-million-gallon Riley on Kiess Road - is treated by lime softening with sand filtration and clearwell storage (a 500,000-gallon clearwell from 1914 and a 1-million-gallon in-ground clearwell from…

Almost every day here is a measurement: 95% of them come from a rain gauge standing inside 44820 (Bucyrus) itself.

48,774 days of records, 1892-12-01 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.
