About this area's water
Did you know
- Margaretta's water is bought, not made: Erie County buys every gallon it sells, from Sandusky, Huron, Vermilion and the Northern Ohio Rural Water Authority, and Lake Erie is the only source behind all of them.
- In 2025 the district tested quarterly for lithium and six 'forever chemicals' under the federal UCMR5 program and every single result came back non-detect.
- Castalia, the village at the heart of the district, is named after a spring in Greek mythology — and sits beside a real one, the Blue Hole, a 43-to-45-foot-deep karst spring that discharges about 7 million gallons a day…
- Erie County will sell you water by the coin: county-owned penstock dispensers charge 25 cents for every 12 gallons.
History5
- 1836Castalia was laid out; the village takes its name from Castalia of Greek mythology.
- late 1990sThe Castalia Blue Hole, a karst spring that drew up to 165,000 visitors a year at its peak, closed to the public as a tourist attraction.
- 2024Erie County's current water and sewer rate schedules take effect with bills due on or about June 17, 2024 (District A minimum $19.25 for a 5/8" or 3/4" meter; $4.97 per CCF thereafter).
- 2026Jan. 19-21: extreme cold and sustained west/southwest winds restricted raw water reaching Sandusky's Big Island Water Works — ice affected the primary Lake Erie intake and wind pushed water away from…
- 2025The Margaretta District took part in the fifth round of the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR5), testing quarterly for lithium and six regulated PFAS; all results were non-detections.
Treatment & pressure
How it is treated

Mostly estimated. Only 11% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 44824 (Margaretta Township and Castalia) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.
48,691 days of records, 1893-04-01 to 2026-10-28. 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.
