Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Groundwater from four wells (two at 220 Hickory St., two three-quarter mile northwest of the plant), disinfected with chlorine before distribution; no filtration or advanced treatment step is described in the 2024 CCR.

EPA compliance record

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 0 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

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

Supply stress

Aquifer rated 'moderate susceptibility' to contamination in the 2024 CCR because potential significant sources of contamination exist in the recharge area; we found no drought, capacity, or PFAS concerns.

Source: irp.cdn-website.com

Sewers

Sanitary

Village bills sewerage under the same ordinance as water (Ordinance 23-36) but at a different volumetric rate for 2025: $92.23/quarter minimum for the first 6,000 gallons, then $3.99 per 1,000 gallons (vs. water's $3.88), plus a $2.50/month per-connection capital fee. We found no plant name, capacity, or receiving stream.

Storm

Separate $1.50/month stormwater fee per connection funds storm tile, drain, and retention/detention basin maintenance (Ordinance 23-36, Sec. 3), on top of a $2.50/month capital-improvement fee on the water side (Sec. 4); no flooding history found.

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 45306 (Botkins), 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.

48,862 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.
