Did you know
  • Norwood ran on its own artesian wells for 65 years, and in the 1937 flood the roles reversed: with the Cincinnati Water Works shut down, nearly the whole city came to Norwood to fill buckets and tubs from its wells.
  • Only after its own water table dropped in 1959 did Norwood switch to buying wholesale from Cincinnati, a relationship now in its seventh decade.
  • The Cincinnati system Norwood depends on was the first municipally owned water works in Ohio, bought by the city on June 25, 1839 for $300,000.
  • GCWW's Miller plant was the first utility in the nation to run granular activated carbon and reactivate the carbon on site, in two 1,500-degree furnaces; because GAC strips out organics, the plant needs about two-thirds…
  • GCWW tests the water an average of 300 times a day, and Norwood's own health department adds a chlorine-residual test 365 days a year on top of that.

History6
  • 1892-1894Norwood voters approved a public water works in 1892; the system was completed in 1894 with six artesian wells, a pumping station at Harris Avenue and Pine Street, and a 100-foot steel water tower…
  • 1937When the Ohio River flood knocked out the Cincinnati Water Works, nearly the whole city turned to Norwood's artesian wells to fill buckets and tubs.
  • 1959The water table under Norwood's artesian wells dropped to a level too expensive to keep pumping, and the city began buying finished water wholesale from Cincinnati, which it still does.
  • 1817-1839Norwood's present supplier traces to an 1817 charter granting the Cincinnati Manufacturing Company exclusive rights to a public water supply; first delivery was July 3, 1821, and on June 25, 1839 the…
  • 1906-1907GCWW's 'New Works' Ohio River treatment plant (later the Richard Miller Treatment Plant) became operational.
  • 1992GCWW's granular activated carbon facility at the Miller plant went into service, the first in the nation to use GAC and reactivate it on site.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Norwood treats no water of its own. It buys all of its finished water wholesale from Greater Cincinnati Water Works and holds an unconditional Ohio EPA license to operate its distribution system, doing its own metering, billing and main repairs. Norwood's supply comes from GCWW's Richard Miller…

Supply stress

Norwood has had no independent water source since 1959 and holds no standby wells, so its supply security rests entirely on GCWW's Richard Miller plant and the Ohio River. Ohio EPA classifies the Ohio River as highly susceptible to contamination because it is open to the environment and pollution moves quickly downstream. GCWW's barriers…

Mostly estimated. Only 3% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 45212 (Norwood and Cincinnati) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

44,376 days of records, 1905-01-01 to 2026-10-28. 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.
