Chickasaw Village is owned by a local government, with 182 service connections serving 358 people; it has substantially implemented source water protection under Ohio's program. Office: 419-925-6709 (SDWIS).

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

Wells: EPA lists 2 active wells. ODNR well logs locate 2 public-supply wells inside Chickasaw Village's wellhead protection zone, 220 ft deep, in limestone. Zoom in to see them as dots.

About this area's water

Did you know
  • Chickasaw historically operated four wells (1E, 2W, 3N, 4S by compass direction), but two (1E, 2W) were taken offline in 2019 — the system now runs on just 3N and 4S, matching modern records rather than the four-well…
  • Unlike most villages this size, Chickasaw runs real iron/manganese treatment — greensand and pressure-sand filtration, with pre-ozonation used at its since-retired original plant — rather than just chlorinating raw well…
  • EPA facility records show both a current and an 'old' Chickasaw Village treatment plant on file, with the old plant, two of the four original wells, and an old storage tank all deactivated together in 2019, evidence of…
  • The village adds an orthophosphate corrosion inhibitor to protect pipes and control lead/copper leaching.

History6
  • 1999A violation for not issuing the yearly water quality report (the Consumer Confidence Report) opened October 1999; later resolved.
  • 2000A violation for not issuing the yearly water quality report opened July 2000; resolved.
  • 2002A violation for an inadequate yearly water quality report opened July 2002; resolved.
  • 2004A violation for an inadequate yearly water quality report opened July 2004; resolved.
  • 2018A violation for an inadequate yearly water quality report opened November 29, 2018 remains open as of the latest EPA ECHO data — the longest-running open item for this system.
  • 2019Wells 1E and 2W, the original 'Chickasaw Village Old' treatment plant, and the conventional storage tank were deactivated (Aug–Oct 2019), consistent with a plant/well modernization; the system now…

How it is treated

EPA treatment records show the active plant (facility 47315) using greensand filtration, pre- and post-hypochlorination, an orthophosphate corrosion inhibitor, and a reaction step for iron/manganese removal and disinfection. A separate, now-deactivated 'old' plant (facility 5585, retired 2019) is…

System now draws on two active wells (3N, 4S) after wells 1E and 2W were deactivated in 2019 (four wells — 1E, 2W, 3N, 4S — were operated historically). Iron/manganese treatment (greensand filtration, ozonation at the retired plant) suggests naturally mineral-rich groundwater typical of Mercer County's glacial aquifers. No drought or…

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 45826 (Chickasaw), 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.

48,519 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.
