Sardinia Village buys its water from Brown County Rural Water. Brown County Rural Water treats groundwater from Ohio River Valley Aquifer (wells).

Sardinia Village is owned by a local government, with 504 service connections serving 952 people. Office: 937-446-3807 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Sardinia Village (random forest) rather than drawing it from the utility's map, so its edges are approximate.

Wells: EPA lists 13 active wells. ODNR well logs locate 8 public-supply wells inside Brown County Rural Water's wellhead protection zone, 79 to 114 ft deep, in sand and shale. Zoom in to see them as dots.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Sardinia does not treat its own water. It purchases already-treated finished water from Brown County Rural Water (PWSID OH0802012, sourced from groundwater) via two active interconnections, and distributes it through village mains. Its own former surface-water intake and treatment plant were…

Water pressure

Not published — no pressure figure found in available EPA SDWIS records or on the village website; village office can be reached at 937-446-3807 for details.

What it costs

$18.06 per 1,000 gallons

Typical household bill about $136 a month for water.

Per the village's own utilities page (rates as of 2/1/2026): water base rate $34.00/month covers up to 2,000 gal, then $18.06 per 1,000 gal for 2,001-10,000 gal and $16.07 per…

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

3 violations of any kind logged since 2020: 1 for required testing that was missed or reported late; 2 for a report, record or notice that was missing, late or incomplete (the yearly water quality report, a public notice, lead line records).

EPA compliance record · Brown County Rural Water (treats the water)

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 0.7 ppb in 2023 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

Supply stress

No health-based drinking water violations on record. SDWIS shows three violations (missed coliform testing in Dec. 2023, an inadequate yearly water quality report in Dec. 2023, and a July 2025 lead service line notice violation), all paperwork or missed testing rather than contamination events. As a wholesale customer of Brown County Rural Water, Sardinia's supply reliability depends on that regional system.

The Village of Sardinia operates its own sewer/wastewater treatment plant, per the village's own website, separate from its purchased-water arrangement for drinking water.

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 45155 (Mowrystown), 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.

48,319 days of records, 1893-01-01 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.
