Kalida Village is owned by a local government, with 622 service connections serving 1,542 people; it has substantially implemented source water protection under Ohio's program. Office: 419-532-3899 (SDWIS).

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

About this area's water

Did you know
  • Kalida's name comes from the Greek word for 'beautiful,' and the village briefly served as the first seat of Putnam County government before it moved to Ottawa in 1866.
  • The village's wells reach 400 feet into what it calls the 'low plain aquifer,' unusually deep for a small Ohio village well field.
  • Kalida has replaced its entire water main network with C900 plastic pipe over the years, so its 2025 CCR certifies zero lead, galvanized, or lead-status-unknown service lines anywhere in the village.

History4
  • 1834Kalida founded and named (Greek for 'beautiful'); becomes the first county seat of Putnam County.
  • 1839Village formally incorporated.
  • 1866Putnam County seat transferred to Ottawa, though Kalida remains an incorporated village.
  • unknownVillage replaced all water main lines over the years with C900 plastic pipe; per the 2025 CCR, records and inspection confirm only copper and plastic service lines exist, with no lead or galvanized…

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Groundwater from three wells drilled 400 feet into the 'low plain aquifer,' on the southeast side of town near the plant and water tower. Treated by filtration (removing clays, silts, iron, manganese, and organic matter) and chlorine disinfection, per the village's 2025 CCR.

Water pressure

Not published; no CCR or engineering-report pressure figure found.

What it costs

Village bills water/sewer quarterly; no per-1,000-gallon rate, fixed charge, or published rate ordinance was found in the CCR, utility page, or a targeted search.

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

Supply stress

Aquifer rated 'moderate susceptibility to contamination' in the village's source water assessment, due to moderate aquifer sensitivity and potential contaminant sources within the protection zone (per 2025 CCR); no reported violations or shortages.

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 45853 (Kalida), 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.
