About this area's water
Did you know
- Wellston's drinking water is drawn partly from an abandoned coal mine — the city's CCR lists it as a ground water source and notes it is really a ground/surface mixture, a direct legacy of the area's mining history.
- The city runs two separate treatment plants, North and South, whose outputs blend into one distribution system. The difference shows in the tap: North Plant water tested at 1.28 ppm fluoride in 2025 while South WTP…
- Ground has been broken on an entirely new Water Treatment Facility that will replace both aging plants, with the city projecting it operational by the end of 2028.
- Wellston reported zero violations in 2024, but picked up two reporting violations in 2025 — it missed a two-week Total Microcystins sampling window and left its UCMR5 results out of the previous year's report. It kept…
History5
- 2024Unconditioned license to operate; no violations reported in the 2024 Consumer Confidence Report.
- 20252024 CCR (issued May 2025) announced that groundbreaking on a new Water Treatment Facility was set for that year, alongside grant applications for distribution-system work.
- 2025Ground broken on the new Water Treatment Facility; the 2025 CCR projects it operational by the end of 2028.
- 2025Two monitoring/reporting violations: the city failed to collect a Total Microcystins sample in the 8/17-8/30/2025 window (returned to compliance with samples on 9/10/2025, results within limits), and…
- 2025Retained an unconditioned license to operate despite the two reporting violations.
Treatment & pressure
How it is treated
Wellston draws from Little Raccoon Creek (surface water) blended with water from an abandoned coal mine, which the city describes as a mixture of ground water and surface water. The supply is treated at two separate plants, the North Plant and the South WTP, whose outputs feed one distribution…

Supply stress
Both raw-water inputs carry a high susceptibility rating in the city's own CCRs. The Little Raccoon Creek supply is surface water, which Ohio EPA treats as inherently susceptible: it is openly accessible and moves fast enough that an upstream spill can reach the intake with little warning. The abandoned coal mine source, a ground/surface…

Mostly estimated. Only 1% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 45692 (Wellston) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read 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.
