Jacksonville Village buys its water from Burr Oak Regional Water District. Burr Oak Regional Water District treats groundwater from Hocking River Buried Valley Aquifer (wells).

Jacksonville Village is owned by a local government, with 288 service connections serving 481 people. Office: 740-856-9054 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Jacksonville Village (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 $1,077 a year for water ($90 a month; $612 at 2,500 gallons, $1,635 at 8,000) (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $1.3 million across 2 projects (wastewater $933K, drinking water $340K); largest: Wastewater Collection System Improvements (Trimble Township Wastewater Treatment Di, 2023, $933K); 2019 Water Distribution System Replacement (Jacksonville, 2019, $340K).

Wells: EPA lists 6 active wells. ODNR well logs locate 6 public-supply wells inside Burr Oak Regional Water District's wellhead protection zone, 55 to 57 ft deep, in sand & gravel and sand & boulders. Zoom in to see them as dots.

About this area's water

Did you know
  • Jacksonville's population peaked around 1,285 in 1910 during the coal-mining era and has fallen to about 400-481 today.
  • The village buys its water wholesale from Burr Oak Regional Water District rather than running its own treatment plant; that district's own supply is a mix of six groundwater wells and a surface-water intake from Burr…
  • It sits in the Sunday Creek watershed, notorious for acid-mine-drainage-orange water in its lower reaches — a legacy of the same coal industry that built the village.

Source: en.wikipedia.orgdata.epa.gov

History6
  • 1879Jacksonville village was laid out by Oliver D. Jackson, for whom it is named, growing up around coal mining along Sunday Creek.
  • 1884A Jacksonville post office was established; it continues operating today.
  • 1910Jacksonville's population peaked at about 1,285 during the coal-mining era.
  • 1997An Ohio EPA study found the lower 13 miles of Sunday Creek 'irretrievably damaged to the extent that no appreciable aquatic life can be supported' by acid mine drainage from historic coal mining…
  • 2000-2020EPA's federal records show a recurring string of violations over the yearly water quality report (2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2018, 2020), not issued in some years and inadequate in others; several are still listed as open years later.
  • 2024Two major Stage 2 DBP Rule monitoring/reporting violations covering Q1 2024 were logged and resolved by April 2024; a separate violation for not giving a required public notice, opened May 2025, was also resolved.

Supply stress

Jacksonville sits in the Sunday Creek watershed, one of Ohio's most acid-mine-drainage-impacted watersheds from historic coal mining (1997 Ohio EPA study, lower 13 miles).

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 45740 (Jacksonville), 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.

48,317 days of records, 1893-06-01 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.
