Fostoria City is owned by a local government, with 5,279 service connections serving 13,441 people; it has substantially implemented source water protection under Ohio's program. Office: 419-435-2561 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Fostoria 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 $382 a year for water ($32 a month; $246 at 2,500 gallons, $546 at 8,000) and about $455 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $14.1 million across 2 projects (wastewater $14.1M); largest: CSO #2 and #3 Elimination Project CSO (Fostoria, 2020, $13.5M); CSO #2 and #3 Elimination Project CSO (Fostoria, 2018, $655K).

Did you know
  • Fostoria owns six reservoirs covering more than 450 acres of water and 700 acres of land — but two silted in too shallow to drink from, and when the current project finishes the whole city will drink from just…
  • Lake Mosier, Fostoria's Reservoir 4, is being drained and turned into a wetland; at 91 water acres and 160 land acres it was the largest of the chain.
  • The city was created in 1854 by merging Rome and Risdon, and named for landowner Charles W. Foster, whose son Charles Foster went on to be governor of Ohio and U.S. Secretary of the Treasury.
  • The 1880s northwest Ohio natural-gas boom made Fostoria a major American glass-manufacturing center.
  • In 2025 the plant distributed 791.26 million gallons of drinking water — about 160,000 gallons a day for every thousand residents served.

  • 1854City of Fostoria formed by the merger of the communities of Rome and Risdon, named for landowner Charles W. Foster.
  • 1880sThe northwest Ohio natural gas boom drove rapid growth and a wave of glass-factory openings in Fostoria.
  • 2024In February the city, working with ODNR, began permanently disconnecting Reservoirs 1 and 4 from the drinking water supply — both had grown too shallow to use — converting Reservoir 1 to a…
  • 2025Monitoring and reporting violation: the utility failed to monitor for total microcystins during the weeks of 1/5/2025-1/18/2025. A sample was collected 1/19/2025. No health limit was exceeded.
  • 2025System held an unconditioned license to operate and distributed 791.26 million gallons of drinking water.
  • 2026In May, city finance staff outlined modest water and sewer rate increases to take effect in January, saying they used one-time funds where possible to hold the increases down.

Treatment & pressure

Supply stress

Ohio EPA's source water assessment rates the East Branch of the Portage River as having HIGH susceptibility to contamination, owing to the nature of surface water sources generally and to surrounding land uses in the watershed — the CCR is explicit that this rates potential, not current safety. Two concrete pressures: harmful algal…

Sewers

Sanitary

Operated by the City of Fostoria. The city is under an Ohio EPA consent order to separate stormwater from sanitary sewage — heavy rain has pushed sanitary flows into surface waters — which is the regulatory driver behind the reservoir conversion project. Plant capacity, receiving stream and the order's terms are not published on the city…

Storm

The Reservoir 1 and 4 conversions serve double duty as stormwater management, creating pools and a connecting stream to capture Portage River water during rainfall events and reduce downstream flooding. We found no separate stormwater utility or fee.

Mostly estimated. Only 3% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 44830 (Fostoria) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

48,801 days of records, 1893-02-01 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.
