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

Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $323,000 across 1 project (drinking water $323K); largest: Prospect Street Water Main Replacement (Beaverdam, 2024, $323K).

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Drinking water is drawn from 3 wells on village-owned property. The raw water is chlorinated for disinfection and passed through media filters to reduce iron and manganese before entering the distribution system.

What it costs

No water or sewer rate schedule could be retrieved. The village's utility-information page links to 'Ordinance 2024-28, Utility Rates,' but that PDF returns a 404 on the village's…

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 45808 (Beaverdam), 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.

48,879 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.
