Dunkirk Village is owned by a local government, with 390 service connections serving 875 people; it has substantially implemented source water protection under Ohio's program. Office: 419-759-2808 (SDWIS).

EPA modeled the service boundary of Dunkirk 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 $530 a year for water ($44 a month; $396 at 2,500 gallons, $703 at 8,000) and about $686 a year for sewer (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

Ohio EPA loans since 2016 for projects inside this ZIP: $2.9 million across 2 projects, $333,000 of it forgiven (drinking water $2.9M); largest: Lead Service Line and Water Line Replacement (Dunkirk, 2025, $2.6M); Lead Service Line and Water Line Replacement (Dunkirk, 2023, $219K).

About this area's water

Did you know
  • Named after Dunkirk, New York, when the village was platted in 1852.
  • In 2006 ODOT floated Dunkirk as a possible stop on the proposed 'Ohio Hub' high-speed passenger rail corridor, per Wikipedia.
  • Its 2 active wells are treated with a packed-tower aerator plus ion exchange before chlorination -- a small-system setup for iron/hardness removal, per EPA SDWIS facility and treatment records.
  • The village has lost over 40% of its population since its 1880 peak of 1,311 residents (2020 census: 774).

How it is treated

Groundwater from 2 currently active wells (Well 1 and Well 2); a third well (Well 3) was deactivated in 1997 per EPA SDWIS facility records. Water is pre-chlorinated (hypochlorination), passed through a packed-tower aerator and an ion-exchange…

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 0 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

Supply stress

Small groundwater system (390 connections, 875 served) now running on 2 active wells (a third was retired in 1997). Federal records show violations over the yearly water quality report and lead service line notices rather than measured contamination; two (from 2020 and 2022) remain open as of this review, while a 2025 violation initially flagged as open has since been…

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 45836 (Dunkirk), 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.
