Did you know
  • It began in 1968 as a farmer-organized rural water cooperative and only became a political subdivision in 1992, which let it borrow tax-free.
  • Its aquifer-protection consortium is an odd coalition: Butler County Water & Sewer, the cities of Hamilton, Fairfield and Cincinnati, and the Molson-Coors brewery.
  • The average district household uses about 155 gallons of water a day.
  • In all of 2025 the district drew just 69,090 gallons through its emergency connection with the City of Hamilton, across five days.
History5
  • 1968Organized as the Southwestern Butler County Water Association, a not-for-profit rural water cooperative: a 2.3 mgd plant, 160 miles of main, about 2,800 users.
  • 1978-1981Added 150 miles of main and 1,100 users, expanded treatment capacity to 3.6 mgd, and renamed itself The Water Association.
  • 1992Completed a $3,000,000 improvement (4 elevated tanks, a clearwell, 15 miles of transmission main) and reorganized as the Southwest Regional Water District, effective Sept 1, 1992.
  • 1997The North Water Treatment Plant began operating in May 1997, ending the W. Guy Metcalf plant's run as the district's only production facility.
  • 2003Ohio EPA found the Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer very productive but highly susceptible to contamination.
Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Two plants treat Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer groundwater: W. Guy Metcalf (Ross Twp, 3.6 MGD, three 1,600-gpm wells) does chlorination, fluoridation and softening; North WTP (St. Clair Twp, 6 MGD, four wells) adds iron and manganese removal.

Water pressure

Not published; the district operates 18 storage tanks across its pressure zones but states no psi figure.

What it costs

$7.05 per 1,000 gallons

$7.05 per 1,000 gallons effective Feb 1, 2026, plus a $20.00/month minimum service availability charge, raised from $19.00.

Supply stress

Ohio EPA determined in 2003 that the Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer, though very productive, is highly susceptible to contamination. The district's CCR says nitrate in treated water (1.26-2.23 ppm) confirms manmade influence, well under the 10 ppm standard. No drought or capacity limits reported.

Sewers

Sanitary

The district sells water only. Its own Sewer Service Rates page carries no rates and instead points customers to Butler County Water & Sewer Department and the City of Hamilton. Rural unincorporated parts of the service area rely on on-site septic systems.

Storm

Not detailed in district sources; the service area is largely rural and low-density.

Mostly estimated. Only 2% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 45053 (Morgan Township and Okeana) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

43,529 days of records, 1896-09-01 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.
