About this area's water
Did you know
- Despite the reservoir's prominence, only about 22% of Mansfield's tap water is lake water - roughly 78% comes from municipal wells, and the blend shifts with algae blooms and taste-and-odor episodes.
- Potassium permanganate is dosed right at the reservoir intake for one specific job: keeping zebra mussels from colonizing the intake line.
- About 5.5 million cubic yards of silt have settled into Clear Fork Reservoir since 1949 - roughly a quarter of its capacity - and it has never once been dredged.
- Mansfield voters rejected a quarter-percent water-main income tax in November 2023, then passed the very same tax four months later by 97 votes.
History5
- 1949Clear Fork Reservoir built, impounding the Clear Fork of the Mohican River to serve Mansfield as its surface water source.
- 1960Present wastewater treatment plant went into service as a 4 MGD facility; capacity was expanded between 1984 and 1987.
- 2023-2024Voters rejected a quarter-percent water-main income tax in Nov. 2023 (5,865-5,251), then approved it in March 2024 by 97 votes (2,701-2,604).
- 2025City launched a $3.6 million water main program and recorded three treatment technique violations at the water plant, including a nine-hour turbidity violation on Jan. 2.
- 2026Stantec sediment survey found roughly 5.5 million cubic yards of silt and ~26% capacity loss, but concluded the reservoir remains dependable for at least 50 more years.
Treatment & pressure
How it is treated
Blend of surface and ground water - about 22% from the 4.4-billion-gallon Clear Fork Reservoir (24-inch line) and about 78% from municipal wells (two 18-inch lines), with the ratio set by lake clarity, algal blooms and taste/odor. Potassium permanganate at the intake controls zebra mussels; then…

Supply stress
Silt has claimed roughly 26% of Clear Fork Reservoir's capacity since 1949 and it has never been dredged, though a 2026 Stantec survey found 50+ years of dependable supply. Nearer-term pressures are on the treatment side: three treatment technique violations in 2025 and disinfection byproducts running close to their limits.

Firefighting foam: 2 fire departments or other holders in Richland County registered 110 gallons of PFAS-based AFFF foam with Ohio EPA, 5 gallons in opened containers; the state is collecting it for disposal so it is never sprayed again.
Lithium: not detected in 4 UCMR 5 samples at Mansfield City (the method reports from 9 µg/L). Lithium is unregulated; EPA's draft health reference level is 10 µg/L, and it occurs naturally in deep groundwater, so well systems in the northwest run highest.
PFAS are the forever chemicals from firefighting foam, plating shops and non-stick coatings. One sample above 4 ng/L is not a violation; compliance is judged on running annual averages, and systems are adding carbon filters ahead of the 2029 deadline. Results are for water leaving the plant, not your tap.

Children: the Ohio Department of Health lists this ZIP as high-risk for childhood lead exposure, mostly from old paint and soil, so every child living here should get a blood lead test at ages 1 and 2 (Medicaid covers it, and doctors are required to order it).
Systems sample taps in the homes most likely to have lead pipes or solder; the 90th-percentile figure means nine in ten sampled homes were at or below it. Lead comes from the service line and the house plumbing, not the source water, so a low system result does not clear an old house. The action level drops from 15 to 10 ppb in 2027, and every lead line must be replaced within ten years of that.

Measured fluoride: 0.13 mg/L on average at the plant's entry points in 2019 (too little to protect teeth); samples ran from 0.13 to 0.18 mg/L across 8 samples in 2012 to 2019 (EPA compliance monitoring). Natural fluoride in Ohio well water runs from a trace to over 2 mg/L in parts of the northwest.
The health department counts 20.4% of Richland County residents on community water as receiving fluoridated water.
Ohio law (ORC 6109.20, 1969) makes systems serving 5,000 or more people fluoridate unless the water already carries 0.8 mg/L naturally or the community exempted itself by ordinance or referendum in the months after the law passed; smaller systems choose for themselves. The treatment list is what each system registered with EPA and can lag a plant upgrade.

Source: Ohio EPA public water system harmful algal bloom monitoring (geo.epa.ohio.gov DrinkingWater/HAB): microcystin results in raw and treated water since 2016 for surface-water systems, for the system serving most of each ZIP · Ohio EPA HAB information for public water systems
Full detail
Algal toxins
- Raw water
- 27 detections at the intake across 5 bloom seasons (2016 to 2024); highest since 2024 0.536 µg/L
- Treated water
- never detected after treatment
- Monitoring
- 697 samples from 2016 to 2026, latest 2026-08-24
Raw-water readings show what the plant has to remove; any detection at the intake triggers weekly paired raw and treated-water testing until two clean weeks, and carbon, ozone or chlorine destroys the toxin in nearly every case. The ten-day advisory levels for treated water are 0.3 µg/L for children under six and 1.6 µg/L for everyone else. Since November 2022 the bloom season runs June through November (sampling continues into early December), with treated water tested every two weeks the rest of the year; the 2016 to 2022 rule monitored year-round and stepped testing up to three days a week when raw water passed 5 µg/L.

Stream designations (Ohio EPA water quality standards): no designated stream segment crosses this ZIP. Nearest specially protected stream: the Cedar fork, 9.7 mi away, a Superior High Quality Water. Exceptional and coldwater streams are the state's healthiest; modified and limited-resource waters are channelized or ditched.
Proposed for 2026: the nearest reach Ohio EPA proposes to add to the antidegradation tiers is the East Branch Kokosing River (All excluding Knox lake), 14.7 mi away, as Superior High Quality Water.
Farm chemicals (USGS estimate, 2018): farms in Richland County used about 101 metric tons of pesticide active ingredient, 201 kg per square mile, 46th of Ohio's 88 counties. Largest: glyphosate 38 t, metolachlor 19 t, atrazine 17 t, 2,4-D 4 t, glufosinate 3 t. Atrazine, the corn herbicide, is the pesticide that most often shows up in Ohio tap water after spring rains; this county used 17 t of it.
Farms (2022 Census of Agriculture): 1,078 farms work 159,053 acres of Richland County, with 37.9% of its land in cropland, 148 acres to a farm. 20,903 cattle, 44,533 hogs, 642,393 laying hens, 253,055 broilers, 388 turkeys; 41,059 acres of corn and 45,402 of soybeans. Sales $214 million, 53% from animals and animal products. Manure and fertilizer from farms like these carry the phosphorus and nitrogen behind Ohio's algae and nitrate problems; withheld figures protect individual farms.
A watershed unit fails when any sampled stream in it fails; ditches in flat farm country fail on habitat and nutrients, city creeks on bacteria and sediment. Ohio's own report is at epa.ohio.gov; the EPA link on each unit's report page has the sampling detail.

Design storms (NOAA Atlas 14): a 100-year storm here drops 5.8 inches in 24 hours (2.8 in a single hour, 4.4 in six); a 2-year storm 2.6, 10-year 3.8, 25-year 4.5, 500-year 7.5 inches in 24 hours. Storm sewers, culverts and detention ponds are sized from these numbers, and a "100-year" storm has a 1% chance every year.
Nearest river gauge: Touby Run at W 6Th St at Mansfield OH, 0.3 mi away, draining 10 square miles. Record flow 1,370 cubic feet a second on 2025-04-05; the highest since 2016 was 1,370 on 2025-04-05 (USGS, 1 annual peaks, 2025 to 2025).
2 federal flood insurance policies are in force in this ZIP, covering $1 million of buildings; 100% of them are in a mapped high-risk zone; the typical policy costs $2,557 a year.
5 federal flood insurance claims from this ZIP since 1978, 0 since 2010, paying about $57,189 in all; the worst year was 1987 with 3 claims; 20% of claims came from outside the mapped high-risk zone.
Community status: Richland County's unincorporated areas take part in the National Flood Insurance Program; flood map effective 08/15/19.
Lenders require flood insurance on mortgaged homes in the 1% zone (zones A and AE).

Anyone who spills more than a reportable quantity must call Ohio EPA within 30 minutes, so the log mixes a few gallons of diesel on a highway shoulder with real releases; the reported volume is the caller's first estimate. Every report in Ohio EPA's open-data layer carries coordinates; air-pollution complaints and calls where nothing was found are left out of this count.

High-quality wetlands: nearest is Charles Mill Lake (Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District), 619 acres, 6.4 mi away; 1 within 10 miles.
Mitigation sites: nearest Menard's Ontario, 3.6 mi away (a permittee-responsible site under an environmental covenant); 3 within 10 miles. These are wetlands and streams built or restored to replace ones filled under Clean Water Act permits.
Assessed wetland: nearest City of Mansfield, a skunk cabbage seep of 61.6 acres, 3.2 mi away: ORAM 55 of 100 (category 2), plant community index 87 of 100 (surveyed 2000); 3 within 10 miles. Category 3 wetlands are the state's best and hardest to fill; category 1 are degraded.
Mapped from aerial photography, mostly 2004 to 2007 (the Lake Erie watersheds were re-mapped from 2021 imagery, a few areas date from 1976 to 2005 or 2014 to 2023), so small and seasonal wetlands are undercounted and ponds dug or filled since then are missing; a site delineation decides whether a lot is jurisdictional. Emergent means marsh, forested and shrub means swamp.

- Water and wetland
- 0.0% open water, 0.0% wetland
- Paved and roofed
- 87% of the ZIP's surface is impervious; rain that lands there runs straight to a storm drain or stream instead of soaking in
- Tree canopy
- 1% of the ZIP sits under tree canopy
- Area
- under 0.1 square miles of land
- Before settlement
- the land surveys of the early 1800s mapped this ZIP as 100% mixed mesophytic forest (ODNR pre-settlement vegetation mapping)
Land cover is classified from Landsat imagery at 30 metre pixels, so a house on a wooded lot can read as forest and a farm lane as open space. Stream health starts to slip once about 10% of a watershed is impervious, and is usually poor above 25%.
