EPA modeled the service boundary of Mcguffey 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
  • The village is named for John McGuffey, who traded land for a railroad depot in exchange for having the town named after him in 1890.
  • Its own three wells produce the lowest disinfection-byproduct levels of the three small systems examined in this batch.
  • A post office at the site predates the village's own 1890 founding by seven years.
  • The 2024 lead service-line inventory found zero confirmed lead pipes among 274 service lines, with just 8 of unknown material.
  • In April 2026 the village council convened specifically to discuss repairs needed on the aging municipal water tower.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

McGuffey draws on three groundwater wells and disinfects with chlorine; the resulting disinfection byproducts (TTHM 10.7 ppb, HAA5 0.717 ppb, both well under the 80/60 ppb limits, per EWG's EPA-sourced data) are consistent with simple chlorination rather than membrane filtration or other advanced…

EPA compliance record

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

EPA health-based violations since 2015:

  • 2024Lead and Copper Rule Revisions · lead service line inventory missing or incomplete (a records requirement, not a lead test result) · returned to compliance

6 violations of any kind logged since 2020: 1 for required testing that was missed or reported late; 4 for a report, record or notice that was missing, late or incomplete (the yearly water quality report, a public notice, lead line records); 1 health-based.

Supply stress

Own three-well groundwater supply is generally more drought-resilient than a surface source, and disinfection-byproduct levels are the lowest of the three systems in this batch, consistent with less chlorination demand and less organic precursor material.

Mostly estimated. Only 4% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 45859 (Mcguffey and Mc Guffey) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read 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.
