MAHONING COUNTY, OHIO · 36 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Boardman's town center falls inside the Youngstown city system's service area on EPA's map, and that system buys its water already filtered from the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District. For homes on private wells, the number to know is where rock begins, between 22 and 56 feet down in the middle half of nearby logs, since that and Ohio's 25-foot minimum set the casing length.

WHAT WE DO IN BOARDMAN
Whether you’re on a private well or city water, the same crew handles the water source, the pressure, and what comes out of the tap.
On the city line, the lead record and the disinfectant are covered by the Youngstown system's water report. For a Boardman home on a well, a test on site, or through a certified lab for lead and bacteria, gives the numbers any treatment is chosen from.
Wells here finish a little shallower than the county's, 110 feet at the median against 120, 15th of 21 Mahoning County towns. The middle half of logs finish between 85 and 151 feet, and one in four meets rock at 56 feet or deeper, which means a long casing run.
Resting water sits a median 25 feet down, and at 43 feet or less in three logs of four. Yields in the middle half run from 10 to 20 gallons a minute, and the pump is picked from that yield, the lift and the pressure the house wants.

The Youngstown City system is run by local government and serves 130,530 people through 52,603 connections, with 7 storage tanks. Its source is purchased surface water, bought filtered from the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District. EPA lists no wells, intakes, treatment plant or treatment steps for the city system itself, and the seller's own steps aren't on this record.
So for a Boardman home on the line, the utility's annual water report is where to learn which disinfectant the water carries and what else was measured. If you want chlorine or chloramine out at every tap, a whole-home CityLux handles either. The Mahoning County treatment page covers testing and equipment for homes on wells.
Of the 1,809 logs within 5 miles of Boardman that record depth to rock, the middle half fall between 22 and 56 feet, and one in four is deeper still. Because casing runs at least 25 feet under Ohio's private-well rules, and down to rock where rock is deeper, new wells in the area can need very different lengths of it, and the figure for your lot is found as the drill goes down.
Below the casing the hole continues in rock, and the middle half of logged wells stop between 85 and 151 feet. The rock mapped at the town center is the Allegheny and Pottsville Groups, Pennsylvanian shale, siltstone, limestone and sandstone. The cost page shows how casing and footage enter a quote, and residential drilling sets out the rest of the job.

A LITTLE CLARITY
Our Cortland office (7115 Hoagland Blackstub Rd. Unit C, Cortland, OH 44410) is about 36 minutes and 24 miles by road from Boardman. Service calls for Boardman are scheduled from there.
Boardman and the municipalities around it: Boardman Township, Poland, Struthers, Poland Township, Youngstown, Canfield Township, Campbell, Canfield, Beaver Township, Lowellville. Beyond those, the rest of the 21 Mahoning County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Ohio’s well-log database lists 1,897 domestic wells within 5 miles of Boardman: the median is 110 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 85 and 151 feet. The median well was logged at 15 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 35 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
The Youngstown City system's lead rounds run from 2017 to mid-2026, and all but one record the 90th percentile as 0 mg/L. The exception, 0.0022 mg/L for the first half of 2024, is under the 0.015 mg/L action level. Those figures come from homes sampled across the system; your tap depends on your own plumbing, and reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink is the usual answer if a test finds lead.
No. EPA lists the Youngstown City system's source as purchased surface water, with no active wells of its own, bought from the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District. The well logs behind the figures on this page come from wells drilled within 5 miles of the town, which draw on groundwater.
