EPA modeled the service boundary of Galion 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 $681 a year for water ($57 a month; $410 at 2,500 gallons, $1,006 at 8,000) (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).
Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $237,000 across 1 project (wastewater $237K); largest: Iberia Area Sewer System (Morrow County, 2018, $237K).

About this area's water

Did you know
- Galion's water plant is rated for 4 million gallons a day but treats only about 1.3 million — roughly a third of capacity most days.
- The city's three reservoirs hold about 527 million gallons of raw water for a system serving roughly 10,450 people, but the source reservoir itself is tiny: Ohio EPA measured Amann Reservoir at just 24 acres and 13.1…
- Galion's water is not really from Galion — Amann Reservoir sits south of town in Morrow County, and the water is pumped from there into two more reservoirs before it ever reaches the plant.
- Water rates in Galion are set administratively by the Safety-Service Director; only sewer and electric rates go through a City Council ordinance.
- If Galion ever runs short, it can open a connection to the City of Crestline — an option it did not use in either 2024 or 2025.
History6
- 2003Ohio EPA completed a Source Water Assessment for Galion, finding the system susceptible to agricultural runoff, industrial/commercial sources, oil and gas production activity and…
- 2019Ohio EPA published its Amann Reservoir inland lake water quality report (2016-17 sampling), classifying the reservoir as eutrophic to hyper-eutrophic and placing it on a watch list for nitrate.
- 2023-08-31The City and Ohio EPA agreed to terms on Director's Final Findings and Orders, setting deadlines for a list of plant projects and requiring the city to come into compliance for Total Trihalomethanes…
- 2024Galion operated under a conditioned license to operate its public water system, with conditions requiring it to address ongoing violations; the same conditioned status continued in 2025.
- 2024-04Clarifier rehabilitation completed under the EPA orders.
- 2024-06Elevated tank mixing completed under the EPA orders.
Treatment & pressure
How it is treated
Surface water only, no wells. Raw water is the Rocky Fork of the Olentangy River, impounded in Amann Reservoir south of Galion in Morrow County, then pumped into the Amick and Powers upground reservoirs, which feed the treatment plant at 625 W Railroad St. Conventional treatment — clarification and…

Supply stress

57% of these days are measurements from a gauge inside 44833 (Galion); the rest are estimated from the nearest gauges around it.
48,736 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.
