About this area's water

Did you know
- The Mad River Well Field is only 42 acres, but its wells each produce anywhere from 800 to 2,600 gallons per minute.
- Raw water travels about 9,000 feet from the well field to the treatment plant through a single 24-inch main.
- Fairborn's lead service line inventory found no lead lines, no galvanized lines requiring replacement, and no unknown-material service lines anywhere in the system.
- The plant produces more than a billion gallons of drinking water a year and holds an unconditioned Ohio EPA operating license.
History5
- 1950The villages of Fairfield and Osborn merged to form the City of Fairborn, whose name blends the two.
- 1974-1975The Mad River Well Field was constructed in 1974 and the City of Fairborn Water Treatment Plant began operating in 1975.
- 1990Four new filters were added to the plant, raising rated capacity to 5.0 MGD; the well field was expanded again in 1994.
- 2008Ohio EPA approved a capacity increase to 6.5 MGD and the Mad River Well Field was expanded.
- 2021The most recent Mad River Well Field expansion was completed.
Treatment & pressure
How it is treated
Wells at the Mad River Well Field over the Great Miami buried valley aquifer; water is oxidized with potassium permanganate and/or chlorine, filtered to remove iron and manganese, then chlorinated and fluoridated before storage in two 1.5-million-gallon clear wells.
Water pressure
Not published; Fairborn's Water & Sewer Division states only that it aims to deliver drinking water 'at adequate pressures.' No psi or pressure-zone figures found.
What it costs
Not substantiated. Fairborn's utility billing, utilities-documents and finance pages carry no rate schedule and refer callers to (937) 754-3006.

Supply stress
Ohio EPA's 2024 source water assessment rates the aquifer highly susceptible: no protective clay layer, less than 20 feet deep, and significant potential contaminant sources in the protection area. It found no evidence the groundwater has been impacted by significant chemical contamination from human activity.
Sewers
Sanitary
City-run Water Reclamation Center at 6920 Upper Valley Road, Huber Heights: rated up to 6 MGD, currently averaging about 4 MGD, discharging to the Mad River. Wastewater flows by gravity to collection-system low points where six pump stations lift it. SCADA-monitored 24/7.
Storm
The Water & Sewer Division maintains a separate storm water collection system (pipe and inlet maintenance); no stormwater utility fee schedule or flooding history was published in sources reviewed.

- Ohio EPA latest
- 2 plants sampled by Ohio EPA, most recently 2026-05 (Ohio EPA statewide sampling status map)
Firefighting foam: 2 fire departments or other holders in Greene County registered 170 gallons of PFAS-based AFFF foam with Ohio EPA, 30 gallons in opened containers; the state is collecting it for disposal so it is never sprayed again.
Lithium: not detected in 2 UCMR 5 samples at Fairborn 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.

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.
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.

Full detail
Fluoride and treatment
Treatment on file: aeration, chlorine disinfection, sand or media filtration.
Measured fluoride: 0.58 mg/L on average at the plant's entry points in 2017 (below the 0.7 mg/L target); samples ran from 0.23 to 0.95 mg/L across 4 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 78% of Greene 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.

- Nitrate risk
- EPA researchers put the chance that a public water system in the Huffman Dam-Mad River subwatershed exceeds the nitrate limit at 41% if it draws on groundwater and 56% 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)
- Quality monitoring
- Ohio EPA's nearest ambient groundwater monitoring well is Dayton Ottawa Wellfield (Montgomery County), 2.6 mi away: 115 ft deep in sand and gravel (Mad River aquifer); wells there yield over 500 gallons a minute; not currently sampled. 16 active wells within 15 mi

Scores above about 40 (IBI), 36 (ICI) and 60 (QHEI) mean a healthy warmwater stream.
Stream designations (Ohio EPA water quality standards): no designated stream segment crosses this ZIP. Nearest specially protected stream: the Great Miami river (Lost creek (RM 100.0) to the CSX railroad bridge (RM 84.5)), 5 mi away, a Superior High Quality Water. Exceptional and coldwater streams are the state's healthiest; modified and limited-resource waters are channelized or ditched.
Proposed for 2026: the nearest reach Ohio EPA proposes to add to the antidegradation tiers is the Mad River (Macochee creek (RM 51.75) to the mouth), 1.8 mi away, as Outstanding State Water for recreation.
PFAS in the river (Ohio EPA large river survey): at Mad R. Dst. Fairborn Wwtp, 3.1 mi away, the water carried 181.2 ng/L of total PFAS (PFOA 1.1, PFOS 7.4 ng/L); fish fillets held 369.545 ng/g in bluegill (PFOS 335 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 Greene County used about 144 metric tons of pesticide active ingredient, 346 kg per square mile, 35th of Ohio's 88 counties. Largest: glyphosate 54 t, atrazine 20 t, metolachlor 11 t, acetochlor 10 t, 2,4-D 9 t. Atrazine, the corn herbicide, is the pesticide that most often shows up in Ohio tap water after spring rains; this county used 20 t of it.
Farms (2022 Census of Agriculture): 897 farms work 156,287 acres of Greene County, with 49.5% of its land in cropland, 174 acres to a farm. 4,549 cattle, 13,695 hogs, 6,323 laying hens, 1,061 broilers, 143 turkeys; 50,907 acres of corn and 65,907 of soybeans. Sales $144 million, 11% 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.

This project improved water qual...; 0 within 5 miles, 6 within 15. H2Ohio pays for wetlands, farm practices and lead line work to cut the nutrients behind Lake Erie's algae.
Source water: 100% of this ZIP drains to the river intake of Dayton Public Water System and sits inside its Ohio EPA source water protection area; 18% lies in the 1,000-foot stream corridor zone where spills and runoff matter most.
Watershed grants: nearest "Upper Little Miami River and Caesar Creek Watershed Project" by Greene County SWCD (stream restoration, Section 319), 5.3 mi away; 6 within 10 miles (Ohio EPA project lists: Section 319 and GLRI through fiscal 2023, SWIF through 2017).
Road salt: nearest went to City of Beavercreek (equipment, 2024-2025), 5.4 mi away; 1 in Greene County. H2Ohio pays for brine makers, calibrated spreaders and covered salt barns so less chloride reaches streams and wells.
Watershed plan: the Huffman Dam-Mad River subwatershed around this ZIP's center has an Ohio EPA-approved nine-element nonpoint source plan (2023), the blueprint that makes its farms, streambanks and communities eligible for federal Section 319 runoff grants.
The population center sits in the Huffman Dam-Mad River subwatershed; its water runs on through City of Dayton-Mad River, then Poplar Creek-Great Miami River, then Town of Oakwood-Great Miami River.
In 2015 Greene County drew about 17 million gallons a day of fresh water (USGS): 9 million for public supply (100% from wells, 120,900 people served at 59 gallons a person a day at home), 0.7 million for industry, 2 million for irrigation, 1.8 million for mining; 43,500 residents drew their own well water.
EnviroAtlas, Huffman Dam-Mad River: 100 to 200 acres in the Conservation Reserve Program; 2,315 acres of grain crops; 34 miles of streams (1.2 per square mile); water use of 2.2 million gallons a day for homes and 278 thousand for farms; 41 inches of rain and snow a year; 11.4 kg of nitrogen per hectare falling from the air each year; farm nitrogen of 0 kg per hectare a year as manure and 13.9 kg as synthetic fertilizer; 4% of the farmland sits on drained hydric soils; potentially restorable wetlands on farmland cover 7% of the subwatershed; 22% of the land is paved or roofed; 37% of the stream banks keep natural cover (EPA EnviroAtlas national metrics, 2010s vintages).
Stream permits: none of this ZIP drains to streams Ohio EPA rates high quality, so stream crossings and fills here can use the Army Corps' blanket nationwide permits under Ohio EPA's standing 401 certification (Ohio EPA 401 nationwide permit eligibility map).

Drought (U.S. Drought Monitor): since 2020 Greene County has spent 36 weeks in moderate drought or worse, 4 of them severe or worse (most recently 4 weeks in 2024), and 73 weeks at least abnormally dry. The worst since 2000 was extreme drought in 2024/09; 7% of all weeks since 2000 were in drought. As of 2026-09-01: no drought.
Long run (NOAA, Greene County): the average year ran 53.0 °F over 1996 to 2025 against 50.9 °F over 1901 to 1930, 2.1 °F warmer (1.8 °F warmer than 1951 to 1980); the warmest year on record was 2024 at 56.1 °F, and 2025 came in at 52.8 °F. Precipitation averaged 43.0 inches a year lately against 40.2 a century ago, 7% more; the wettest year was 2011 with 58.8 inches, and 2025 brought 42.7. More rain in bigger bursts is what strains storm sewers and septic fields.
Stations: Dayton Mcd (6.8 mi, temperature and precipitation and snowfall; 10 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
- Greene County is a maintenance area for fine particulate (1997) (Dayton-Springfield, OH, redesignated 2013), 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.

Race shares follow the Census categories, with Hispanic origin counted separately from race. Five-year averages centered on 2022. Moves count people on tax returns whose address changed county, so students and the very poor are undercounted.

Jobs and commuting
Largest employers by sector: Health care and social assistance 1. 0% of local jobs pay over $3,333 a month, and 53% of residents' jobs do.
Businesses: 16 establishments in 2023; most common: restaurants and hotels (11) (ZIP Business Patterns).
Workplace safety (OSHA): no inspection since 2020 (6 on record since the 1970s). No worker death investigated since 2015.
County labor market: Greene County's unemployment rate was 3.3% in July 2026 (4.7% a year earlier), with 84,509 people in the labor force and 2,776 looking for work. Employers in the county paid an average of $1,553 a week in the first quarter of 2026 (up 5.9% on the year) to 78,585 workers at 4,175 establishments, employment down 2.6%; the largest private sectors are professional and technical services (11,681 jobs, $2,453 a week), retail (9,881 jobs, $691 a week), health care and social assistance (8,554 jobs, $1,098 a week). (BLS)
Working-age residents: 44.0% of people 16 and over here are in the labor force, averaged over 2020 to 2024 (Census ACS).
Federal money: in fiscal 2025 the federal government obligated $9.6 billion in contracts performed in Greene County ($56,887 a resident) and $353 million in grants ($2,100 a resident) and $1.2 billion in direct payments to people and organizations (USAspending; Social Security, Medicare and most benefits are not counted).
County economy: Greene County produced $11.9 billion of real GDP in 2024 (2017 dollars, up 17.8% since 2019); personal income came to $67,273 a person in 2024, 12th of Ohio's 88 counties and up 30% since 2019 before inflation (BEA).

Unemployment-insurance records tie each job to a workplace and a home address; large employers sometimes report every worker at a headquarters, which inflates a few ZIPs. Self-employment, the military, the Postal Service, most farm work and a large part of federal civilian employment are missing (federal jobs come from OPM records that omit several agencies and, in practice, most of Wright-Patterson).

Upward mobility
- Meaning
- below the Ohio median: low-income children here mostly stayed in the lower half
- Incarceration
- 0.99% of those children were in jail or prison on census day 2010
- Coverage
- 100% of the ZIP's residents live in tracts with an estimate
The rank describes people born around 1980 who were children here in the 1980s and 1990s; neighbourhoods change, so it is a record of what the place did for one generation, not a forecast. Estimates for small tracts are noisy.

Three stars means the district meets state standards, five that it significantly exceeds them, one that it needs significant support. Achievement stars follow family income closely; the progress component (growth from year to year) is the fairer measure of teaching. Charter and private schools are not in the district figures.
