ZIP code 45150: Miami Township and Milford

Drinking-water compliance

A health-based violation is a contaminant above its limit or a treatment rule not followed; monitoring, reporting and public-notice violations are paperwork. Lead is the 90th-percentile result across sampled homes, not a reading at any one tap.

Byproducts and contaminants

TTHM

46.2 µg/L yearly mean in 2019, the last year in the file (limit 80); worst yearly mean 58.7, highest single sample 155; 257 samples from 2012 to 2019

HAA5

21.9 µg/L yearly mean in the last year sampled (limit 60); worst yearly mean 30.7, highest sample 71.9; 256 samples

Plants

Clermont Public Water System runs 3 plants and EPA's file lumps their entry-point samples under one system, so the nitrate, arsenic, radioactivity, solvent, farm-chemical and metal rows cover all 3, not only PUB (Pierce-Union-Batavia) Water Treatment Plant, which serves this ZIP; a sample over a limit may be from another plant

Nitrate

highest of 173 samples was 4.35 mg/L as nitrogen (2019; limit 10); 4.35 in 2019, the last year sampled. Nitrate above 10 is unsafe for infants

Arsenic

highest of 24 samples was 3.6 µg/L (limit 10); detections averaged 3.6

Solvents and fuels

benzene, carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, vinyl chloride not detected in 12 samples

Bacteria

3 of 9,852 routine tap samples (0.03%) tested positive for total coliform in 2012 to 2019, 0 of 1,230 in 2019; E. coli never found in the 7 tap samples tested for it. Coliform itself is a warning sign; E. coli means sewage or manure reached the water

Farm chemicals

atrazine in 3 of 23 samples, highest 2.8 µg/L (limit 3); alachlor not detected in 23 samples

Metals

barium in 19 of 24 samples, highest 49.1 µg/L (limit 2,000); not detected: chromium in 28 samples, cadmium in 28 samples, mercury in 24 samples, selenium in 24 samples, thallium in 24 samples

EPA's file stops at 2019; Ohio EPA's Drinking Water Watch has newer results. Byproducts are judged on running yearly averages at each sampling site, so one high sample is not a violation. Nitrate and arsenic are measured where water enters the pipes.

PFAS

UCMR 5, all plants

8 samples in 2024 to 2025 at the entry point to the distribution system: PFOS 10.1, PFPeA 3.3, PFBS 3.1 ng/L

Ohio EPA 2020

3 plants tested (latest 2020-06): nothing detected for the six PFAS tested

Ohio EPA latest

3 plants sampled by Ohio EPA, most recently 2025-12 (Ohio EPA statewide sampling status map)

Firefighting foam: 7 fire departments or other holders in Clermont County registered 890 gallons of PFAS-based AFFF foam with Ohio EPA, 330 gallons in opened containers; the state is collecting it for disposal so it is never sprayed again.

Lithium: not detected in 8 UCMR 5 samples at Clermont Public Water System (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.

Lead at the tap

Latest period

2.1 ppb in the sampling period ending 2023-12

Record

3 sampling periods since 2016, none above 10 ppb

Service lines

45,080 inventoried: 0 lead, 0 galvanized needing replacement, 0 unknown, 45,080 not lead (reported all required service line types)

Children: this ZIP is not on the Ohio Department of Health's high-risk list for childhood lead testing; children on Medicaid or in pre-1978 housing with peeling paint should still be tested.

Housing age: 22% of the homes here were built before 1960 and 7% before 1940, when lead service lines, lead solder and lead paint were common; 48% predate 1980 (Census ACS 2020 to 2024).

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.

Fluoride and treatment

Treatment on file: aeration, corrosion control, chlorine dioxide, coagulation and settling, chlorine disinfection, iron and manganese removal, granular activated carbon, ion-exchange softening, sand or media filtration.

Measured fluoride: 1.02 mg/L on average at the plant's entry points in 2019 (in the range dentists aim for); samples ran from 0.84 to 1.19 mg/L across 24 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 96.6% of Clermont 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.

Algal toxins

Raw water

30 detections at the intake across 5 bloom seasons (2017 to 2026); highest since 2024 0.79 µg/L

Treated water

1 detection, highest 0.28 µg/L (2026-08), below the 0.3 µg/L advisory level

Monitoring

778 samples from 2016 to 2026, latest 2026-08-18

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.

Geology

90% of the ZIP is a sensitive geologic setting, where thin or sandy cover leaves the aquifer open to what soaks in from the surface; its population center sits on Ordovician limestone and shale known to form karst, under more than 20 ft of drift; 55 field-verified sinkholes and 18 probable sinkholes inside the ZIP, where surface water can pour straight into the aquifer; 3 verified springs (Ohio EPA and ODNR Geological Survey)

Injection wells

25 Class V injection wells on Ohio EPA's books inside this ZIP (24 active): 10 stormwater drainage, 10 large septic, 4 cleanup injection, 1 other; these put fluids underground above or into drinking water aquifers

Water table

H-3 OH monitoring well (ODNR), 2.6 mi away: water 30 ft below ground on 2026-09-08; averaged 27 ft in 2015 to 2019 and 28 ft over the latest year, so the table is running about 1.0 ft lower; range 17.7 to 36.4 ft over 4,088 readings since 2015

Nitrate risk

EPA researchers put the chance that a public water system in the Salt Run-East Fork Little Miami River subwatershed exceeds the nitrate limit at 23% if it draws on groundwater and 41% if it draws on rivers or lakes, judged from land use, geology and past results (EnviroAtlas nitrate violation index; the typical Ohio subwatershed scores 23% for groundwater and 39% for surface water)

Sewage treatment

Size

9 million gallons a day design flow; a major facility

Compliance

7 of the last 12 quarters with a violation; currently in violation (not significant); 4 effluent limit exceedances in 3 years

Combined sewer overflows: 2 outfalls inside this ZIP, 2 within 3 miles, permitted to Milford City Wwtp. In heavy rain these release untreated sewage mixed with storm water.

Sewage sludge: 2 farm fields covering 85 acres inside this ZIP are permitted for spreading treated biosolids, mostly from Milford Wwtp (85 acres) (Ohio EPA). Biosolids carry nutrients and, increasingly under scrutiny, PFAS.

Sludge source: 2 permitted biosolids generators are inside this ZIP; nearest Lower East Fork Regional WWTP, 2.4 mi away (a major plant); 4 within 10 miles (Ohio EPA).

State water loans: 13 projects inside this ZIP have borrowed $5.9 million from Ohio EPA's revolving loan funds since 2014 (10 sewer, storm water and runoff projects for $1.4 million; 2 drinking water projects for $821,239), with $1.5 million of principal forgiven. Largest: Lower East Fork Miami Stream Restoration and Stabilization (Clermont Soil and Water Conservation District, 2023, $3.6 million); latest: 2026 Septic Rehabilitation Program HSTS (Clermont County General Health District, 2026, $100,000). Below-market loans are how most Ohio treatment plants and water mains get rebuilt.

Stormwater: 69% of this ZIP lies inside Ohio EPA's regulated MS4 areas, mostly the Miami Township storm sewer system (7 permit holders overlap the ZIP); the towns, townships and counties that own those storm sewers hold a stormwater permit and must control what runs off streets and parking lots (2020 to 2030 designation). 4 sites with an address in this ZIP hold their own industrial stormwater permits (PPG Industries Inc, Trester Used Auto Parts Inc, Petermann - Milford Fac and others) (EPA Facility Finder).

Plants inside this ZIP: Lower East Fork Regional Wwtp (9 MGD, major); Milford City Wwtp (1.2 MGD, major, CSO).

Where a home's sewage actually goes depends on the sewer district, and rural homes are on septic systems the county health department permits; the nearest plant is a proxy. Violations range from paperwork to raw discharges.

Fish advisories (Ohio EPA): East Fork Little Miami River (All waters (Brown, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, Highland Counties)): channel catfish one meal a month, common carp one meal a month, flathead catfish one meal a month and 3 more species (mercury); Little Miami River (Lower Bellbrook Road, Bellbrook, to mouth (Ohio River) (Clermont, Greene, Hamilton, Warren Counties)): common carp one meal a month, freshwater drum one meal a month, sauger one meal a month and 2 more species (mercury). Statewide, every other fish is one meal a week because of mercury.

Nearest stream assessment (Ohio EPA): Trib. To E. Fk. L. Miami R. (2.40) Near Milford @ U.S. Rt 50 on the Trib. To E. Fk. L. Miami R. (Rm 2.40), 1.8 mi away, draining 3 square miles: full attainment of its warmwater use; fish IBI 38 of 60 (2012); bugs rated good; habitat QHEI 56 of 100. 13 assessed sites inside the ZIP, 8 within 3 miles, 61 within 10. Scores above about 40 (IBI), 36 (ICI) and 60 (QHEI) mean a healthy warmwater stream.

Stream designations (Ohio EPA water quality standards): 30.6 miles of designated streams cross this ZIP: 19.5 mi warmwater habitat, 11.1 mi exceptional warmwater habitat. Nearest specially protected stream: the East Fork Little Miami river (East Fork lake (RM 20.5) to the mouth), 1.5 mi away, a Superior High Quality Water; 39% of the ZIP lies within a mile of such a stream, where new discharges face the strictest antidegradation review. Exceptional and coldwater streams are the state's healthiest; modified and limited-resource waters are channelized or ditched.

PFAS in the river (Ohio EPA large river survey): at L. Miami R. At Milford @ Wooster Pike, 3.2 mi away, the water carried 73.54 ng/L of total PFAS (PFOA 2.4, PFOS 7 ng/L); fish fillets held 63.27 ng/g in bluegill and 22.23 ng/g in catfish (PFOS 38 in bluegill). Drinking water limits are 4 ng/L for PFOA and PFOS; river water is not drinking water, but treatment plants that draw from it start from these numbers.

Farm chemicals (USGS estimate, 2018): farms in Clermont County used about 61 metric tons of pesticide active ingredient, 132 kg per square mile, 55th of Ohio's 88 counties. Largest: glyphosate 25 t, atrazine 5 t, acetochlor 5 t, glufosinate 4 t, metolachlor 4 t. Atrazine, the corn herbicide, is the pesticide that most often shows up in Ohio tap water after spring rains; this county used 5 t of it.

Farms (2022 Census of Agriculture): 815 farms work 85,840 acres of Clermont County, with 20.3% of its land in cropland, 105 acres to a farm. 3,228 cattle, 138 hogs, 5,272 laying hens, 1,157 broilers, 54 turkeys; 15,075 acres of corn and 35,001 of soybeans. Sales $51 million, 9% 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.

OGRIP's copy leaves 4% of the county's parcels without a land-use class, so the list misses some houses. Year built, size, values and sales come from each county auditor's own appraisal records, which are being added county by county outward from Franklin County.

Zillow's typical home value here is $343K (2026-07), up 3% over the year, up 26% over five years and up 88% over ten. Typical asking rent $1,592 a month (2026-07), up 1% over the year.

On the market (Realtor.com, August 2026): median asking price $346,450 (up 2.8% in a year), $206 per square foot for a typical 1,657 sq ft listing; 88 active listings, 56 new this month; listings spend a median 47 days on the market (up 62% from a year earlier); 19% of listings have cut their price.

The index follows the same houses through repeat sales and refinance appraisals on conforming mortgages, so it measures price change rather than the price level (the Homes card has the median value). Consumer prices rose about 36% from 2015 to 2025, so a gain under 36% is a loss in real terms.

Municipal income tax

Milford 1% (19% of residents); township residents outside a city or village pay none. Charged on wages and business profits where you work and, after credits, where you live.

School district income tax

Milford Exempted Village none (94% of residents), Clermont-Northeastern Local 1% (4% of residents). Voted by the district and collected with the state income tax.

Sales tax

6.75% combined rate in Clermont County: Ohio's 5.75% plus county and transit levies; this ZIP straddles counties or transit districts, so the rate depends on the address.

A mill is $1 per $1,000 of taxable value, and taxable value is 35% of market value. Effective rates fall as values rise because Ohio holds most voted levies to the dollars first approved. County, municipal or township, library, park and vocational-school levies are added on the same bill and are not counted here.

Ratings come from the inspection every bridge gets at least every two years; poor means deterioration that needs repair, not imminent danger. FHWA's file is a yearly snapshot with inspections through early 2025, so a bridge replaced, re-rated or closed since then still shows its old rating here; ODOT's TIMS bridge inventory carries the current one. Traffic figures are the average daily counts the bridge owners filed with the inventory; most Ohio counts date from 2015 and some are older. County engineers own most of Ohio's small bridges and ODOT the big ones.

Annual average daily traffic is both directions combined, averaged over the year. County, township and city roads are labelled by their route number, which ODOT uses instead of the street name. Most city streets have no count, so the busiest local road is the busiest counted one. Interchange ramps are left out of the busiest-road pick; a ZIP with nothing but ramps shows one labelled ramp and its ODOT number.

Road deaths: 6 people died in 6 crashes inside this ZIP in 2020 to 2024 (1 cyclist, 2 motorcyclists); 0 involved a drinking driver and 1 happened in the dark; most on US-50 (2). That is 3.6 deaths a year per 100,000 residents against 10.6 across Ohio's ZIPs; deaths are counted where the crash happened, and many who die live elsewhere. (NHTSA FARS)

Drought (U.S. Drought Monitor): since 2020 Clermont County has spent 21 weeks in moderate drought or worse, and 56 weeks at least abnormally dry. The worst since 2000 was extreme drought in 2007/10; 6% of all weeks since 2000 were in drought. As of 2026-09-01: no drought.

Long run (NOAA, Clermont County): the average year ran 54.4 °F over 1996 to 2025 against 52.5 °F over 1901 to 1930, 1.9 °F warmer (1.8 °F warmer than 1951 to 1980); the warmest year on record was 2024 at 57.1 °F, and 2025 came in at 54.4 °F. Precipitation averaged 46.2 inches a year lately against 43.4 a century ago, 7% more; the wettest year was 1996 with 59.5 inches, and 2025 brought 54.0. More rain in bigger bursts is what strains storm sewers and septic fields.

Stations: Milford (2.5 mi, temperature); Cincinnati Municipal Airport Lunken Fld (10.7 mi, precipitation); Kings Mills (12 mi, snowfall; 15 years of snowfall record). Normals are thirty-year averages, so a single winter can run far above or below them; NOAA marks this snowfall normal provisional because the station record is too short or too patchy for a standard normal, and the temperature and precipitation figures here skip stations with under 10 years.

Air standards

Clermont County is a maintenance area for ozone (2008) (Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN, redesignated 2016), ozone (2015) (Cincinnati, OH-KY, redesignated 2022), fine particulate (1997) (Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN, redesignated 2017), sulfur dioxide (2010) (Campbell-Clermont Counties, KY-OH, redesignated 2016), meaning it once failed that standard and must keep a plan to stay clean (EPA Green Book)

Ohio has 38 PM2.5 monitors, mostly in cities and near industry, so a rural ZIP borrows a reading from far away. 2025 includes Canadian wildfire smoke days. Air-toxics risk is EPA's modelled lifetime estimate for the county as a whole; EPA's national average is about 30 in a million, and formaldehyde, with the globally mixed carbon tetrachloride background and acetaldehyde, makes up most of it.

Spills and releases

What spilled

oils and hydraulic fluid (9), diesel and fuel oil (5), sewage, manure or storm water (3)

Largest

about 3,000 gallons of sewage human in 2021, Milford, into an unnamed stream or ditch

Reached water

5 of them reached a creek, river, ditch or storm drain (named or unnamed)

By year

2021: 5, 2022: 4, 2023: 5, 2024: 3, 2025: 4, 2026: 3

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.

Oil and gas wells

Ohio has drilled since 1860, so most wells here are old, shallow and plugged; unplugged orphans and injection wells are the ones that matter for groundwater. Well-head points can be a few hundred feet off for the oldest records.

Mitigation sites: 1 stream or wetland mitigation site inside this ZIP; nearest Amelia Wal Mart, 3.5 mi away (a permittee-responsible site under an environmental covenant); 7 within 10 miles. These are wetlands and streams built or restored to replace ones filled under Clean Water Act permits.

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.

Reporting

Trend

violent offenses up 74% from 23 in 2023; property up 9% from 325

Rates cover the whole agency's territory, not this ZIP alone: a city's downtown and its quiet edges share one number. Murders, rapes and assaults are counted once per victim and other offenses once per incident, as the FBI's Crime Data Explorer does; a large department's figures can still fall somewhat short of the Explorer's, which takes in later submissions, and a sheriff's population is only the unincorporated area it serves.

Source: FBI Crime Data Explorer, NIBRS incident data for Ohio, 2024 (2023 for the trend): Group A offenses per reporting agency (violent = murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault; property = burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft, arson), murders, rapes and assaults counted once per victim; the agency is the police department of the ZIP's largest local government (city, village or township) when it has one of its own, found in the FBI's 2023 and 2024 rosters or the USGS police station inventory, otherwise the sheriff of the ZIP's county; a rate needs at least six months of 2024 on file and is annualized from fewer than 12; the Ohio figures pool the 511 police departments and sheriff's offices with all 12 months on file · FBI Crime Data Explorer · USGS structures service

Police and post office

Nearest post office: Milford Post Office, 1.7 mi; 1 inside this ZIP.

Townships without their own department are policed by the county sheriff, whose office may be at the county seat; the state highway patrol covers the roads. The inventory lists stations, not patrol zones. It also misses some departments and still lists some that have closed; the atlas adds the departments that reported at least six months of 2024 crimes to the FBI but had no station in it, and drops the closed and duplicate records it found.
