EPA modeled the service boundary of Paulding 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 $526 a year for water ($44 a month; $234 at 2,500 gallons, $877 at 8,000) (Ohio EPA rate survey, inside-city rates).

About this area's water
Did you know
- Paulding's drinking water begins as creek water: it is pumped from Flat Rock Creek into a 614-million-gallon man-made reservoir, and only then treated.
- A village of about 3,600 people runs two reverse-osmosis trains by Wigen Water Technologies alongside GE/Suez microfiltration - a treatment combination more typical of much larger municipal or industrial plants.
- One of the village's two water towers has stood on Grant Street since 1962, more than 60 years.
History6
- 1962Grant Street water tower (250,000 gallons) placed in service.
- 1964Paulding County Reservoir built on Flat Rock Creek, holding over 614 million gallons at depths up to 20 feet.
- 1966Original Paulding water treatment plant constructed.
- 2008Second water tower (250,000 gallons) built on Emerald Road.
- 2013New treatment plant using microfiltration and reverse osmosis brought online in June, replacing the 1966 plant.
- 2026Village began rolling out a new water meter system, posting resident instructions for the companion meter app on August 17.
Treatment & pressure
How it is treated
The plant's raw water is Flat Rock Creek plus annual precipitation, stored in the Paulding (County) Reservoir - a surface supply the CCR says requires extensive treatment. Water passes through three trains containing 66 cartridges of GE/Suez micro filters removing particles down to 3-4 microns…

47,154 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.
