Water

Rock wells and gravel wells

The city's 2025 water report says Wadsworth draws from 11 wells around the city plus one in Chippewa. Seven are deep rock wells in the southeast part of the city between Broad Street and Johnson Road, four are sand and gravel wells in the valley southwest of town near the soccer fields and airport, and the Chippewa well, in service since August 2012, is also sand and gravel.

The plant tests hardness, alkalinity and pH daily. In 2025 lead testing, none of 60 samples was over the 15 ppb action level. Call the Water Treatment Plant at 330-335-2832 with questions; the report explains how to look up your service line material.
