  • 1813Watson built a water-powered sawmill on the Clear Fork River, which drew settlers and seeded the town's economy.
  • 1839Lexington received official village status.
  • 1894Local businessman Harry F. Smith, founder of Smith Gas Power Company, built what is described as the first steam-powered outdoor lighting system; he was also instrumental in developing Lexington's…

  • 2023Village-wide water meter replacement: USG Water Solutions notified customers (July 2023) that meters at end of life would be replaced at no charge, installed by contractor National Metering Services…

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Village-owned groundwater system. The 2024 CCR states Lexington draws from 3 groundwater wells within the village; the water plant at 152 Plymouth Street treats an average of 400,000 to 500,000 gallons per day; water is filtered through 2 greensand filters (the standard arrangement for iron and…

Water pressure

Not published. Neither the village water-sewer page nor the 2024 CCR states a distribution system pressure.

What it costs

$8.13 per 1,000 gallons

Typical household bill about $40 a month for water.

From the village's own Water & Sewer page (monthly billing): WATER $8.13 per 1,000 gallons. SEWER is a separate $8.82 per 1,000 gallons and must not be reported as a water rate.…

Supply stress

Low.

Sewers

Sanitary

Village-operated and village-billed: sewer is charged at $8.82 per 1,000 gallons on the same monthly bill as water, with a $1,400 sewer connection fee and a $400 sewer inspection fee. The village does not publish which plant treats the sewage or the receiving stream, and no wastewater plant address appears on the site.

Storm

The village bills a storm water charge of $2.16 per Equivalent Residential Unit, so storm drainage is funded as a distinct utility line item rather than through the sanitary rate. Lexington is also the one village explicitly brought inside Richland County's…

Mostly estimated. Only 14% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 44904 (Lexington and Mansfield) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

48,729 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.
