Did you know
  • The Blanchard River is named for Jean Jacques Blanchard, described by the village as a French tailor who settled among the Shawnee along the river in 1769.
  • Ottawa drinks from the Blanchard River and returns its treated wastewater to the same river: the water plant on Agner Street draws from the Blanchard, and the wastewater plant on Defiance Street discharges back into it.
  • The water plant is designed for 3 million gallons a day, currently makes about 1.75 MGD, and is backed by a 116-million-gallon reservoir.
  • Ohio EPA's source water assessment counted 162 miles of roads and 75 miles of rail lines — 1,066 road intersections and 48 rail crossings — upstream of the intake, any of which could put a hazardous-material spill into…
  • The village sampled for more than 80 different contaminants in 2025, most of which were not detected; the CCR explains that a part per billion is about one second in 31.7 years.

54% of these days are measurements from a gauge inside 45875 (Ottawa); the rest are estimated from the nearest gauges around it.

48,862 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.
