About this area's water
Did you know
- The district's wells are not in the county it mostly serves: all four are in Gallia County, on Watson Grove Rd. near Cheshire, pumping the Ohio River Valley Aquifer to customers in Meigs County and beyond.
- Nearly all of the district's disinfection by-product load is a single compound — bromoform measured 44.9 ppb out of 48.9 ppb of total trihalomethanes in 2025, the fingerprint of a bromide-rich groundwater source.
- The water is very hard: the CCR reports 21 grains per gallon, roughly 360 mg/L as calcium carbonate, and the district does not soften it.
- It is a conservancy district, not a village or county utility — created in the late 1960s under the same Ohio law used to organize flood-control districts, originally chartered to clean small streams as well as to pipe…
- The board of directors meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the water office on Corn Hollow Road, and the district runs its system with three Class 1 Ohio EPA licensed operators.

Treatment & pressure

EPA compliance record
Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 0 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).
EPA health-based violations since 2015:
- 2024Lead and Copper Rule Revisions · lead service line inventory missing or incomplete (a records requirement, not a lead test result) · returned to compliance
6 violations of any kind logged since 2020: 2 for required testing that was missed or reported late; 3 for a report, record or notice that was missing, late or incomplete (the yearly water quality report, a public notice, lead line records); 1 health-based.
Supply stress
Ohio EPA's source water assessment rates the district's aquifer as highly susceptible to contamination, for three stated reasons: a relatively thin protective clay layer over the aquifer, significant potential contaminant sources inside the protection area, and the presence of man-made contaminants (nitrates) in the treated water. That…

None. Leading Creek Conservancy District is a water-only utility: its 2025 CCR states that although it remains a conservancy district formed under ORC 6101 with authority for a wide range of services, its sole function at this time is providing potable water.

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 45686 (Huntington Township and Vinton), 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.
49,846 days of records, 1890-01-01 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.
