Did you know
  • Despite the name, Big Island Water Works does not drink from Sandusky Bay: its primary intake is a 42-inch steel pipe three-quarters of a mile out into Lake Erie off the Cedar Point Chaussee, gravity-fed to the plant…
  • The plant has tested for microcystins every year since 2011 — the same liver toxin from harmful algal blooms that shut down Toledo's water supply in 2014 — and reported non-detect results in 2024.
  • In mid-January 2024 a frazil-ice event (slushy ice that forms in supercooled, turbulent water and can clog an intake) forced the plant to switch temporarily to its emergency Sandusky Bay intake.
  • The 2024 report shows no treatment violations and a 90th-percentile lead result of 6 ppb, with the highest single tap sample at 13 ppb — none of the 30 homes tested reached the 15 ppb threshold.
  • The report's author, Water Services Superintendent William R. Burch, was in his 23rd year of commercial water purification and holds a Class IV Ohio EPA water supply operator certification.

History4
  • 2011Big Island Water Works began testing finished water for algal toxins (microcystins) from Lake Erie harmful algal blooms; the treatment process has removed them every year since.
  • 2023The plant's emergency-generator master control console failed in late 2023, prompting the city to prioritize an emergency-controls upgrade; during the equipment lead time staff manually tested…
  • 2024BIWW replaced the 20-year-old control panels on each emergency generator, and one frazil-ice event in mid-January forced a temporary switch to the emergency Sandusky Bay intake.
  • 2024City Commission approved a seven-year water and sewer rate schedule (effective June 1, 2024) raising water rates 15% in 2024 and 2025 and 3% per year 2026-2030.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Surface water from Lake Erie enters through a 42-inch steel intake pipe located three-quarters of a mile off the Cedar Point Chaussee and is gravity-fed to the Big Island Water Works plant (2425 First Street). Treatment includes filtration (turbidity held to 0.19 NTU maximum in 2024, 100% of…

Water pressure

No psi figures or pressure zones are published. The 2024 CCR states only that city water mains are pressurized under normal conditions and that pressure is 'greatly reduced'…

What it costs

$8.03 per 1,000 gallons

Typical household bill about $30 a month for water.

The city does not publish a per-1,000-gallon commodity rate. Its approved schedule gives the average single-family water bill (5 CCF = 500 cubic feet, about 3,740 gallons per…

66% of these days are measurements from a gauge inside 44870 (Sandusky); the rest are estimated from the nearest gauges around it.

48,695 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.
