Show everything served from this plant

Huron City is owned by a local government, with 3,549 service connections serving 6,893 people; it has substantially implemented source water protection under Ohio's program. Office: 419-433-5000 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Huron 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 $438 a year for water ($37 a month; $328 at 2,500 gallons, $569 at 8,000) (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $16.7 million across 16 projects, $1.8 million of it forgiven (drinking water $9.4M, wastewater $5.5M, nonpoint runoff $1.8M); largest: Mitiwanga Regional Pump Station (Erie County, 2021, $5.5M); New Elevated Water Storage Tank (Huron, 2025, $5.5M); Huron WTP Tube Settler Improvements HAB (Huron, 2021, $2.9M).

Did you know
  • Huron's intake crib sits about 2,200 feet out in Lake Erie and feeds the plant by gravity through a 36-inch concrete pipe -- no raw water pumping until the water is already onshore.
  • The city runs its own municipal electric utility, Huron Public Power, alongside water and stormwater, while sanitary sewer is handled by Erie County.
  • Huron is a wholesaler as well as a retailer: Ohio EPA records the plant serving about 3,600 city connections plus water sold to the Erie County Water and Sewer District.
  • The planned new water tower is a 111-foot, 2-million-gallon tank replacing a 500,000-gallon one -- a fourfold jump in elevated storage, justified largely by the need to keep producing through a Lake Erie algal bloom.
  • Huron was home port to commercial fishing fleets and a major iron ore and limestone dock -- the first iron ore cargo landed at the Wheeling and Lake Erie docks on May 21, 1884 -- before lake pollution decimated the…

History4
  • 1909The City of Huron established its own water department and built its first filtration plant.
  • 1957The original waterworks was abandoned and a new filtration plant commissioned; that 1957 plant, since expanded and upgraded several times, is still the city's plant.
  • 2024The city completed its lead service line inventory and posted the downloadable list on the water department page.
  • 2025Ohio EPA issued a Limited Environmental Review and Finding of No Significant Impact on July 29 for a new 2.0-million-gallon elevated storage tank, to be financed through the Water Supply Revolving…

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Raw water flows by gravity through a 36-inch concrete intake pipe from a submerged crib about 2,200 feet out into Lake Erie, through a screen into a raw water wet well at the shoreline plant (500 Cleveland Road West). From the wet well it is pumped to a flash mix where ACH coagulant is added…

Supply stress

Supply volume is not the constraint -- the plant is rated 3.4 MGD against about 2.53 MGD average use, with headroom to 5.0 MGD. The documented risk is source water quality: Ohio EPA's 2025 loan review states Lake Erie has annual harmful algal bloom events that can impact treatment, and that Huron needs more finished water storage so it…

Mostly estimated. Only 11% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 44839 (Huron) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

48,298 days of records, 1893-04-01 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.
