Rio Grande buys its water from Gallia Co. Rural Water Association. Gallia Co. Rural Water Association treats groundwater from Ohio River Valley Aquifer (10 wells, Gallipolis/Addison Twp.).

Rio Grande has 265 service connections serving 830 people. Office: 740-245-5089 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Rio Grande (decision tree) rather than drawing it from the utility's map, so its edges are approximate.

Wells: EPA lists 10 active wells. ODNR well logs locate 2 public-supply wells inside Gallia Co. Rural Water Association's wellhead protection zone, 68 to 70 ft deep, in sand & gravel. Zoom in to see them as dots.

EPA compliance record

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 3.3 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

6 violations of any kind logged since 2020: 2 for required testing that was missed or reported late; 4 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 · Gallia Co. Rural Water Association (treats the water)

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 1.8 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

System currently relies on a single active source -- the Gallia County Rural Water Association interconnect -- for its water; the village's own Indian Creek Reservoir intake, which could otherwise serve as backup, has been inactive since 2004 per SDWIS. EPA's record shows missed coliform and lead testing, public notices not given and inadequate yearly water quality reports from 2016 to 2023; three of the report violations (2018, 2020, 2023) remain open.

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 45674 (Rio Grande), 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.

50,407 days of records, 1887-07-01 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.
