EPA modeled the service boundary of Willard 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 $521 a year for water ($43 a month; $359 at 2,500 gallons, $715 at 8,000) and about $707 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Did you know
  • Willard treats river water only after pumping it roughly 3 miles into a man-made 215-acre, 2.3-billion-gallon upground reservoir -- effectively a giant pre-settling basin before the plant ever sees it.
  • The city is a regional wholesaler, not just a retailer: its 2025 CCR says the system serves about 9,255 people across Willard, Celeryville, New Haven, the Village of Plymouth and rural customers, and Northern Ohio Rural…
  • In May 1998 the Willard plant was picked out of roughly 6,000 Ohio water plants for the state's Outstanding Public Water System Award.
  • A single April 2026 storm triggered a 15-hour combined sewer overflow that released 7.78 million gallons into Jacob Creek.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Raw water is drawn from an intake on the West Branch of the Huron River and pumped about 3 miles to the 215-acre, 2.3-billion-gallon Willard Up-ground Reservoir east of town, then treated at a Class III surface water plant rated at 3.2 MGD design capacity (currently averaging about 1.3 MGD).…

EPA health-based violations since 2015:

Supply stress

Water supply itself is not constrained: the plant's 3.2 MGD design capacity is well above current production of about 1.3 MGD, and the 2.3-billion-gallon upground reservoir buffers river flow. The real stress is wet-weather sewer capacity. Willard runs a combined sewer system, and screened combined sewage overflows to Jacob Creek during…

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 44890 (Willard), so every figure here is worked out from the gauges around it - the nearest ones weighted most. Treat them as close estimates rather than readings.

48,795 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.
