Chillicothe City is owned by a local government, with 10,205 service connections serving 21,725 people; it has substantially implemented source water protection under Ohio's program. Office: 740-773-3435 (SDWIS).

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

Bills, 2023: a household using 5,000 gallons a month paid about $365 a year for water ($30 a month; $174 at 2,500 gallons, $593 at 8,000) and about $321 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $59.4 million across 12 projects, $2.1 million of it forgiven (wastewater $57.3M, nonpoint runoff $2.0M); largest: Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements (Chillicothe, 2023, $57.3M); Ross County HSTS Repair and Replacement Project 2017 (Ross County, 2017, $300K); Ross County HSTS Repair and Replacement Project 2016 (Ross County, 2016, $300K).

Wells: EPA lists 8 active wells. ODNR well logs locate 2 public-supply wells inside Chillicothe City's wellhead protection zone, 80 to 83 ft deep, in sand/gravel/clay and sand & gravel. Zoom in to see them as dots.

About this area's water

Water treatment plant in Yoctangee Park, Chillicothe, Ohio

Did you know
  • The city's wells sit inside Yoctangee Park, drawing from the buried channel of the ancient Teays River — a prehistoric river system erased by glaciation and buried under younger sediment long before the modern Scioto…
  • The plant pumps roughly a billion gallons a year; treatment chemicals run about $375,000 annually and electricity about $200,000, the plant's two largest costs.
  • Chillicothe's Scioto River floodwall doubles as recreation infrastructure: it carries a 5-mile paved bike path.
  • The city keeps emergency water connections to Ross County Water Company and the Chillicothe Correctional Institution — and used neither in 2025.
  • An original 3.8-million-gallon storage basin on Carlisle Hill is topped with a floating rubber cover.

History5
  • 1941The city's water treatment plant on Park Street opened; it was later demolished and the site is now Veterans Memorial Park.
  • 1991The current Chillicothe water treatment plant, in Yoctangee Park next to the well field, went into service, replacing the 1941 Park Street plant.
  • 2003Ohio EPA source water assessment completed for the city's well field, rating the aquifer highly susceptible to contamination.
  • 2019Source water assessment updated in May 2019.
  • 2022Source water assessment revised again in September 2022.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Raw water is drawn from seven deep wells in Yoctangee Park, immediately adjacent to the treatment plant, in the Scioto Buried River Valley (Teays Valley) aquifer. The plant lime-softens the water to remove hardness, then adds carbon dioxide to readjust pH after softening; chlorine is added as a…

Water pressure

Not published; no distribution pressure figures appear in the CCR, the utilities department pages, or local reporting on the plant.

What it costs

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.

1 violation of any kind logged since 2020: 1 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

Supply quantity is not the issue; source vulnerability is. Ohio EPA rates the Scioto Buried River Valley aquifer beneath the well field highly susceptible to contamination for three stated reasons: no protective clay layer over the aquifer, shallow depth (less than 20 feet below ground surface), and numerous significant potential…

Sewers

Sanitary

The City of Chillicothe Utilities Department operates its own wastewater treatment plant alongside the water plant; Dale Goebel is the wastewater treatment plant supervisor and Randy Cartwright supervises water distribution and sanitary sewer collection. The department publishes sewer rates ($9.49 minimum plus $4.63 per 100 cubic feet…

Storm

No stormwater division, utility fee, or drainage program is listed by the Utilities Department, and none was found elsewhere. The city's Scioto River floodwall protects downtown from river flooding, but that is flood control rather than a storm sewer system.

Almost every day here is a measurement: 90% of them come from a rain gauge standing inside 45601 (Chillicothe) itself.

48,875 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.
