TRUMBULL COUNTY, OHIO · 21 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Girard's city water comes from four suppliers: EPA lists the system buying from Niles, McDonald Village, Youngstown and the Trumbull County Southeast system, for about 14,122 people. Homes on it get their water report from the city. For homes on wells, the logs point to modest flow, so the pump and tank deserve as much thought as the hole.

WHAT WE DO IN GIRARD
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.
For a private well, treatment follows a water test, on site or through a certified lab, and only what the results call for is fitted. Homes on city water can check the city's report first and test at the tap for anything it doesn't answer.
Wells here run a little deeper than the county's: a 100-foot median against 96, tied for 4th deepest of 23 Trumbull County towns. The Maxville Limestone with the Rushville, Logan and Cuyahoga Formations is mapped under the town, and the middle half of logs finish between 75 and 133 feet.
Across 828 yield records the median is 12 gallons a minute, and the slowest quarter give 7 or less. A submersible matched to the well's recovery, with a pressure tank that keeps its cycles long, supplies the house without overdrawing a slower well.

Girard City (OH7801103) has no wells or intakes of its own in EPA's record. It buys surface water from four systems, Niles City, McDonald Village, Youngstown City and the Trumbull County Southeast system, each listed as partially treated by the seller. EPA lists no treatment steps added by the city itself. The city keeps 3 storage tanks for about 6,000 connections.
The record doesn't say what each seller adds, so the city's water report is the place to start. If you notice a chlorine taste or smell, a water test shows whether it is chlorine or chloramine, and CityLux removes both for the whole house. Niles, one of the four suppliers, has its own page.
Around Girard, rock turns up within 15 feet in a quarter of 901 logs, while another quarter reach it only at 39 feet or deeper. Casing depth in Ohio begins at 25 feet, the private-well minimum, and goes further wherever rock lies deeper, as in that deeper quarter. Below it, the hole is usually open rock.
Finished depth spreads wider, from 75 to 133 feet in the middle half of 970 logs, because the drill keeps going until the well crosses enough water. On the slower wells a little extra depth also adds standing water for the pump to draw on. The cost guide explains how depth enters a quote, and residential drilling covers the steps.
WHY GIRARD CHOOSES CHATFIELD
Rated 4.7 on Google across 104 reviews. Here is what working with us looks like, in a customer’s words.
“We bought a new home November 1st, 2024 and low and behold it had a collapsed well. After several quotes, we chose Chatfield drilling, and we’re glad we did! Matt & his team arrived quickly to assess the situation, and formulate a plan to get the H2O flowing again. Even through the holidays, they did not waiver. Eric their driller worked hard in the brutal NE Ohio cold to pound a well for us. We are beyond pleased, and have fantastic water!”

Girard and the municipalities around it: McDonald, Liberty Township, Weathersfield Township, Niles, Austintown Township, Youngstown, Vienna Township, Howland Township, Hubbard Township, Hubbard. Beyond those, the rest of the 23 Trumbull County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Ohio’s well-log database lists 970 domestic wells within 5 miles of Girard: the median is 100 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 75 and 133 feet. The median well was logged at 12 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 24 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Not from EPA's record. It lists the four systems the city buys from, but not which one feeds which part of town or in what share. The city's water report is the best source. For anything specific at your own tap, such as chlorine, hardness or lead, a home water test gives a direct answer.
EPA lists thirteen rounds from 2016 to 2025. Twelve record the 90th percentile as 0 mg/L; the round ending June 2023 measured 0.00203 mg/L. Every round is under the 0.015 mg/L action level. That describes sampled taps across the city, and your own can differ; if a home test finds lead, reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink is the usual answer.
